Ha! Brilliant. :-)

Here's a pre-commit hook for Unix/Linux/Mac OS X. (Sorry; I'm not up
on Windows programming, but it should be easy enough to convert this
to Perl or a batch file.)

Note that the revision number isn't assigned until after the pre-
commit hook ends. So it's possible that a banned author could still
commit the banned revision if someone else is committing something
else at the same time and that other revision gets handled first.

#!/bin/sh

BANNED_AUTHORS="larry curly moe"
BANNED_DIVISOR=1000

SVNLOOK=/opt/local/bin/svnlook

REPO="$1"
TXN="$2"

AUTHOR=`$SVNLOOK author -t "$TXN" "$REPO"`
IS_OK_AUTHOR=1
for BANNED_AUTHOR in $BANNED_AUTHORS
do
        echo checking author $BANNED_AUTHOR against $AUTHOR 2>&1
        if [ "$AUTHOR" = "$BANNED_AUTHOR" ]
        then
                IS_OK_AUTHOR=0
        fi
done
if [ $IS_OK_AUTHOR -ne 0 ]
then
        exit 0
fi

HEAD_REV=`$SVNLOOK youngest "$REPO"`
NEXT_REV=$(($HEAD_REV+1))
IS_OK_REV=$(($NEXT_REV%$BANNED_DIVISOR))
if [ $IS_OK_REV -ne 0 ]
then
        exit 0
fi

echo "$AUTHOR may not commit revision $NEXT_REV" 1>&2
exit 1
