I understand that you are asking for something a bit more general -
but for what it's worth:

The debian package has a version, be it 0.15 or 0.16. You can see from
the CHANGES file that which revision is this - for 0.15 it's 3687, for
0.16 it's 3987.

So, then you know what revision your commit-access-control.pl is (the
one you started out with). And then it's a trivial job of doing:

  svn diff -r 3987:HEAD http://svn.collab.net/repos/trunk/tools/hook-scripts/commit-access-control.pl

to find out the differences. Same for log messages ofcourse.
