Hi Karl:
>>but I think the larger challenge here is designing the interface and
workflow.
I suggest maybe workflow could be reserved implementing in Hook script and
it is flexible for integrating with third party workflow software , but SVN
need an interface in Hook script for enable commit as dangling or let the
tranaction pending, and third party workflow software could call SVN api to
continue or reject pending tranaction to do final commit
M.Y.

I actually disagree that this would require lots of new code. Also,
it does not require updating the uncommitted txn with merges -- that's
a further enhancement, not a necessity for the basic feature.
What Subversion needs is a small change, a way to commit such that the
txn is left dangling. Then the bindings offer the rest of what's
needed. Of course, new code would need to be written around
Subversion, but I think the larger challenge here is designing the
interface and workflow. The actual coding task is not so large.
