+1 from me as well.

I was going to say that you could probably do this through a pre-commit
hook in conjunction with svnlook. But it appears that svnlook doesn't
deal with arbitrary revprops. It can only deal with those exposed
through svnlook's commands (author, log, date). However, I see no reason
why we couldn't extend svnlook to provide this capability. That way the
pre-commit hook could not only check for the existence of those
properties, you could check their validity as well.
