Re: Automatic prefix and suffix for commit messages

Rather than changing the client code (which requires all your users to
use hacked clients), wouldn't it have much easier to just write a
post-commit hook script on the server side, which ran 'svnadmin
setlog' or something?

We always preach that repository hooks scripts aren't allowed to
change versioned data -- that it would mess up the clients. But log
messages are unversioned data; clients don't track them.
