Don't hack the client! Just write a pre-commit hook script that looks
for the custom property and rejects the commit.

This is a fine way to use properties. You're effectively creating a
super-simple ACL system, and having the pre-commit hook enforce it.

Someday, I hope, Subversion will have a "real" ACL sytem, perhaps one
controlled by user-tweakable properties.
