I'm not suggesting it's _always_ easier, I am saying that it sometimes
1) You have multiple svn servers across multiple sites with multiple
projects but hosted on common hardware. You want no overlap between
projects and/or sites.
2) You want hook scripts to do radically different things: if/then/else
clauses add complication and obfuscation when having two different hook
scripts is more straight forward.
3) You delegate reponsbility for svn servers. You don't want Admin A
messing with Project B's setup in any way.
