Subversion hooks location

I have inherited a subversion project and I know it has post commit hooks for when anything is committed to trunk but I am having problems locating these hooks. Is they any sure fire way of find svn hooks?

I have looked across the repo for #!/bin/sh and *.tmpl but with no success. I have also looked in TortoiseSVN > Settings > Hook Scripts but it's empty :(. To further complicate the matter the original author was know for his unconventional approach :( x 2

Server-side hooks (because there are also client-side in TortoiseSVN):

  1. Placed at server's side (you must to have shell or physical access to the whole server) in /FULL/PATH/TO/REPO/hooks directory
  2. Outside the repository tree (you can't get it with checkout)
  3. Have predefined names
    • start-commit
    • pre-commit
    • pre-revprop-change
    • pre-lock
    • pre-unlock
    • post-commit
    • post-lock
    • post-unlock
    • post-revprop-change

but custom content
