That would involve parsing the log output. In Unix, you can pass this
output as input to another command. For example, let's say your
bugtraq:message property said something like this:

Fixed Defect ID #%BUG%.

You can send the output to a command that looks for the lines that
start with "Fixed Defect ID #". Then, remove that string from the
output. In Unix, this could be done via the "sed' command.

You could also create a "post-commit" hook that will attach a revision
property that contains the bug number. Although initially, this is a
bit trickier, it will make it easier to find bug number that was fixed
by this revision.

Of course, to find the bug number, you'd first parse the output of the
"svnlook log" command to find the line that contains the bug number.
