Note that a pre-commit hook can enforce this sort of thing. But that's
only a small part of the problem:

I don't think so; the issues relevant to this thread are nice and
contained (log message templates, rev-props on commit); what you're
talking about is a change to the way file properties are handled. So I
don't think either issue is directly related to your needs.

While I understand that our operational model for file properties
doesn't quite meet your needs, your needs seem specific enough that they
are probably best met through custom UI development. We have to keep
our operational model simple enough that it's easily understood by all
users, even if that means not all workflows can be trivially mapped onto
it.
