 I've found errors in the PostGIS SVN post-commit hook and found out they
 get lost which explain why they survived for so long.

 One of the errors is a mail to an inexistent address.
 The mail is sent as svn_postgis at osgeo.org, but that address does not
 exist, so the reply from MAILER_DAEMON never get to be read by anyone.

 The other error is asyncronous, coming from a backgrounded wget process
 spowned by the script. The wget'ed url is non-existent but the hostname
 resolves and the firewall does not respond so that the client hangs
 indefintetly (till timeout).it takes a long time to timeout. I still don't
 know what will be output on timeout, but whatever it is, it doesn't hit
 anyone.

 I think the sane thing to do here would be to ensure SVN errors for a
 projects are sent to a responsible person from the project.
