That's probably because commit-email.pl has been deprecated for years, meaning you're not supposed to be using it anymore. See the comment header: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/contrib/hook-scripts/commit-email.pl.in # ==================================================================== # This script is deprecated.
