I'm not sure if this makes any difference, but Atlassian already supports a plugin for JIRA that has the "integration" part of this functionality (http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRAEXT/JIRA+Subversion+plugin).
It polls svn on a set interval for commit messages containing JIRA issue keys, at which point it adds that commit to a tab in the appropriate issue/project. It's very nice (and supported).

The other rules that are covered by this script seem to make certain assumptions that might be a little too specific to be useful in most scenarios.

Just an opinion from someone who heavily uses both Subversion and JIRA together.

Hello Daniel,

        Will it be good if the other rules such as verifying valid open jira id, and the issue must be assigned to the commiter are made configurable. The extraction of jira-id from log message is done according to the jira plugin's logic. So I do not think some one will have problem with it. Another thing is that this script is a pure VBScript and hence does not require other any other libraries and runs natively on Windows Server. Another difference is that this script ensures that while committing an issue a rule gets applied and upon failure deny the commit, which may not be the requirement for oopen-source projects but seems to be a common requirment in product/project/services companies.

Regards,
Prasad P. Khandekar
