Alter Log Message in Hook

From: Sean Laurent <sean_at_neuronfarm.com>

Okay,
So I just realized I have a dumb question...

Currently I have a post-commit hook which, among other things, checks the log
message for a phrase like "BUG#xxxx". If the hook finds the text, it adds a
bugnote to the related issue in our bugtracker which includes a link to the
related revision in ViewSVN. This works fine. However, I just had a user
request the opposite: If the log message includes a reference to a bug,
include (in parentheses) a link to the bug in the database.

Example before:
blah blah fixes BUG#42.

Example after:
blah blah fixes BUG#42 (http://server/viewsvn?view=rev&rev=42).

My dumb question is whether or not this is even remotely safe to do. On the
one hand, it seems like changing the log message would qualify as modifying
the transaction, which is a "very bad thing"... On the other hand, the log
message is unversioned and isn't stored on the client anyway. If it is safe,
is there an easier way of changing the log message in a hook script than
calling 'svn propset svn:log -r XXX --rev-prop "blahblahblah"'?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
