start-commit does not currently receive the txn-id, so I do not see
how we can use/move it for svn:log access anyway. How about a single
new hook called something like start-commit-txn or something like
that?

FWIW, I agree it would be nice to have access to svn:log before the
data is sent from the client. People could do a lot with that, and if
it is easier to attach the client version to the txn properties, then
that is another good reason.

IMO, we have had a LOT of users@ requests for the client version in
hook scripts.
