My idea was that the repository would pass an additional argument to the
start-commit script, $OPTIONS, which would be a semicolon separated list of
client capabilities. The start-commit script could decide to reject the commit
if it didn't find the required capability.

By default, there is no start-commit script in a repository, so it would allow
all commits from any Subversion client.
