That is a very odd feature request if expressed as something you'd want
to put into Subversion itself. It's the kind of thing that would work
well if we had (as many folks have asked for) read hooks in the
repository, but ...

Are you sure you aren't asking for a Band-Aid (tm) to cover up some
performance or cancel-ability problems in Subversion that would be
better fixed directly?
