Do NOT modify any file in a pre-commit hook. The server has no way of
informing the client that such a modification has taken place, and
then the server's idea of what the revision looks like is different
from the client's, which will lead to badness. So do not do this.

Bill, I don't think there's any way to do what you want in
Subversion. May I recommend that you record your changes in the svn
commit log as usual, then later, when you want to cut a release, you
can create a changelog from the Subversion log, for example using a
tool like svn2cl?
