OTOH, I don't know how to do which I intended, other than as I
previously suggested (via post-commit).

The reason is that pre-commit receives the arguments REPOS-NAME and
TXN-NAME, which can be used with "svnlook propget" to get svn:log; but
to modify the log message, the only way is via "svnadmin setlog" (or
"svn propset"), which do not understand txn names, only revision numbers...

So, unless I'm mistaken, if modification of revision properties in
pre-commit is to be valid, some support should be added (some way to
filter the property data, perhaps).

Related: why does "svnadmin setlog" only accept the log message as a
file:

  setlog: usage: svnadmin setlog REPOS_PATH -r REVISION FILE

while "svn propset" also admits passing the log as an argument

  2. propset PROPNAME --revprop -r REV [PROPVAL | -F VALFILE] [URL]

which is sometimes much more convenient? (In my case, it would eliminate
the need for a uniquely-named temporary file, for example).

Thanks,
