Hmmmm, what about an option to svn commit/log such as:

        svn commit --wrapper foo.sh

Or something like that. This could also be something which could be
set in the .subversion/config file as well. If set, svn commit/log
would automagically use that wrapper script.

Just an idea, which probably has many far-reaching consequences I'm
unaware of :)

Hmmm, well, maybe not too tricky, bascically, grap the output of

        svn stat | grep ^M | perl -pe 's/.*?\///'

and you now have a list of modified files with relative paths from
the cwd. Getting the repo root is simply:

        svn info| grep ^Url | cut -f2 -d' '

I'm guessing that svn has APIs somewhere to give you all this
information already, which would be much more efficient than using
these shell pipe-lines though :)
