But it will do this as a different user. As such annotation does not
reveal the correct(desired?) information .

Would it be possible to extend the clients with a hook, that is
executed after the client finishes the requested command, like:

$ svn add <file>

Files gets added and after that the hooks get executed, just as
the pre-commit and post-commits on the server. It's than up to
whomever to provide the hooks ;)
This would I think also make it work for command-line svn as well as
for example TortoiseSVN. It's actually the latter to stops me
from implementing the wrapper right away... ;(

Would a feature request for a pre-post command/extension have a
change of getting accepted?
