We use this script. Call it "pre-commit", put it in your repository's
hooks directory, and make sure it's readable and executable by Apache
or svnserve or whatever's serving your repository:

#!/bin/sh

REPOS="$1"
TXN="$2"

# Make sure that the log message contains some text.
SVNLOOK=/usr/bin/svnlook
$SVNLOOK log -t "$TXN" "$REPOS" | grep "[a-zA-Z0-9]" > /dev/null

if [ $? != 0 ]; then
         echo "Please enter a commit message." 1>&2
         exit 1
fi

# All checks passed, so allow the commit.
exit 0
