how to make svn call to post-commit hook async and not wait for it to complete?

Question

I have post-commit.bat hook which contains this

d:/mypathtoscript/mypostcommit.py

however when i do commit with tortoise svn it waits for mypostcommit.py to complete no matter what i tried (and it takes time) i do not want the commit in tortoisesvn to wait until my postcommit.py ends.

so i tried

start d:/mypathtoscript/mypostcommit.py

however it still waits for it.

anyone knows what i can do? thanks

This is by design, see e.g. Running Subversion post-commit hook as background process
