The cause: For symlinks, SVN saves a file containing "link /target" and sets the "svn:special" property. Since the special file doesn't end with a newline, reindent adds that, and boom. The solution: add if fs.nodeprop(txnroot, path, 'svn:special') == '*': continue in the commit hook's for loop.

Great! So can someone do this? I don't know where the svn hook code is stored, let alone whether I have access to commit a change.
