And there are many other ways to solve this, in addition the one Mike
pointed out.

-1 on Subversion parsing the log message. Let's please not go there.
In the same sense that some changes are "bug sources", this has the
potential to be a very fertile "unexpected behavior source", while
adding no functionality that can't be gotten in other ways.

If someone wants to write their pre-commit hook scripts to parse log
messages, that's different. But Subversion itself shouldn't ship with
that functionality built in.
