The subversion server doesn't have access to the source file. It only
receives deltas. So it's simply not possible. Consider the common case
where the subversion server is across a network.
The solution in this case it to create a wrapper script for svn. Call it
"svn-that-modifies-files". Make changes to your source files in that
script and then call the real svn.
