What exactly do you mean by "proper policies"?
I fear I cannot prevent users from managing their repositories by using
svnadmin. As the application I'm talking about is a SCM system with SVN
integration I'm looking for a way to identify changesets modified by any SVN
tool with all their options.
However, you're right that the identification information - if there is
any - has to be exposed through the API (python bindings, in my case).

Thanks,
Markus
