In hook scripts, people commonly use "svnlook changed", but that only tells you what files changed in a revision, or in a transaction. It does not tell you what is in the HEAD of the repository, and it does not tell you what is in the user's working copy. So unless your requirement is that the user modify your project.xml file with every commit, this will not help you. Perhaps if you explain why you want to check for the existence of this file in the working copy we can help you find a different way of going about it.
