Right. See tools/hook-scripts/log-police.py in the svn distribution
for an example.

I use

    ${SVNLOOK} propget --revprop -r "${REV}" "${REPOS}" svn:log

to get the original log message, massage it as desired, and then

    ${SVNADMIN} setlog --bypass-hooks -r "${REV}" "${REPOS}" "${TMPFILE}"

to store the new message.

That part's not necessary if you use svnadmin setlog --bypass-hooks.
