RE: Re: Adding Revision Number to Changes file comment

I'm also assuming that it's impossible to output commit messages at the
top of each exported pages as well?

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?
