I commented out that line with "commit-access-control.pl". It works.
When I commit with a log message, the new revision is committed. But
when I commit with an empty log message, it gives:

Transmitting file data .svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: 'pre-commit' hook failed with error output:

How can I modify the script so that it prompts the cause of the error
to the user?

SVNLOOK=/usr/bin/svnlook
$SVNLOOK log -t "$TXN" "$REPOS" | \
    grep "[a-zA-Z0-9]" > /dev/null || exit 1

I am not good a shell script. Has anyone modified any?

TIA
