RE: log-cache not updated after editing log message

Would be nice to have, but otoh it's not the most common use case. To inform
other users you need a push service from the server and this would only help
people who are subscribed to a commit mailing list.

I wonder if you could use a property like tsvn:changedlogmessages on the
repository root to store the numbers of changed log messages and a timestamp
for each change. The log cache could look at this property, check which
messages have new changes and poll them again. This list would grow over
time and could become quite unwieldy.

I don't know if it's a good idea, but it could be a starting point.

The problem is that either the server or every client would have to update
the property upon an edit of a svn:log property. Server could be easier via
a post-revprop-change hook, but this would exclude file:// URLs.
