You're missing the point, though.
We can put anything we want into our pre-commit script -- that affects
only us, not other projects. We can make any project policy we want
for ourselves. But making such decisions for *other* projects (i.e.,
by putting a patch into Subversion itself) is different, and must be
approached with much more care.

I wasn't advising you to write a pre-commit script. I was asking the
other developers here if they wanted this pre-commit script in
Subversion's *own* repository. You inspired my proposal, but my
proposal was not directed at you.
As for the "official position" of the svn developers, it is often the
case that there is no official position, and that we try to figure out
the best thing to do by discussing matters. That's what's happening
here.
At this point I've begun to suspect that two or more different
problems are being combined here, and would appreciate a concise bug
report that states exactly what is wrong with Subversion: what was the
expected behavior, and what was the actual behavior?
Thanks,
