Which of those comment should be take as commit message? The first one
the second one or all comments ?
On the other hand you need to do a parsing of the files to extract those
comments and that would mean to have parser for Java, C#, C, C++, Perl,
Python, Ruby, Pascal etc. to extract the comments and that is not the
duty of Subversion as version control tool...

It would be better to convince people about the commit message and which
intention is behind this....
You can simply control this by creating a Hook script....

That will not work, cause different languages have different comment
markers....
