RE: subversion transactions

I am now trying to do code review via branches and I have already implemented simple pre-commit script that will check if all modified files are reviewed and are OK. This works for now... except it requires a lot of manual branch manipulation.

Could I automate the procedure inside pre-commit stript:
- if all files are reviewed with success, accept commit
- if any file is rejected, cancle commit
- if any file is not yet reviewed:
        - the pre-commit script should make a branch automaticly (from HEAD of curent branch)
        - the pre-commit script should apply the transaction to new branch instead (not to curent branch)
        - send e-mail to the reviewer with new branch information

Is this possible?

Thanks,
Zoran Bosnjak
