[PATCH] Tests harness: multiple calls to create_python_hook_script

[Daniel Shahaf]

The svntest/main.py code that installs a post-commit hook for --fsfs-packing=N
documents the following shortcoming:

    # Note that some tests (currently only commit_tests) create their own
    # post-commit hooks, which would override this one. :-(

In general, if a test calls create_python_hook_script() twice with the same
HOOK_PATH argument, all calls but the last are *silently ignored*.  That's bad.

I'm attaching a patch for this.  I ran tests through merge_reintegrate_tests.py
and it doesn't introduce any failures.  I probably won't have time to finish
it, so I'd appreciate it if someone can pick it up, finish it, and commit.

Thanks.

Daniel
