Changing the message in a hook script is dangerous and therefore I don't
like to implement something like this.
The local pre-commit hook script is executed right *after* the commit
dialog is dismissed, but before the actual commit is done. That means if
you change the message in a hook script, there's no way for the user to
check whether your script worked ok or messed up the message.
Another thing is that a log message *must* be in UTF8. TSVN can only
ensure that if no script can interfere with that. And no, it's
unfortunately not possible with 100% accuracy whether an existing text
is in UTF8 or some other encoding (some codepage). That means TSVN could
not ensure anymore that the log message is properly UTF8 encoded.

It is not possible to pass the username to a pre-commit hook script.
Because the username is asked by the server if needed - TSVN/Subversion
doesn't know the username beforehand, only when the server asks for it
and the user enters it. And the cached auth info is stored in a file
where the name is an MD5 hash of the root URL and the authentication
realm (which also isn't known until the actual authentication takes place).
