> At first tsvn:logminsize only applies to the users working copy, but after
he has committed his changes, all other users who update/checkout their WC
will have to enter a log message too, because the property is then also set in
their WC.

unless you protect it from accidental changes by a pre-commit hook, that only
allows certain users to change this property. But you get a quick feed back,
if your log message is too short.
