Nathan,

Thanks for your work on this. I just dropped the script in and it does
allow me to put quotes in my log message - good news!

The bad news is that it caused Apache (2.0.59, SVN 1.4.3) to crash
when I committed with an empty log message. Unfortunately I don't have
much of an error message to work from as far as the source of the
crash.
