Maybe because nobody has shown a valid use case for this?
Even you don't really provide a use case for "empty commit". You'd see
such a functionality as a starting point for a workaround for a
different use case.
I guess, the primary use case you're after is the "change an existing
log message". You know the solution, and your repo admin prevents this.
So far so bad (but: subversion _does_ support this use case).
An alternate use case for your problem might be called "Extend an
existing log message". This might be considered less harmful (by
admins); however it appears that it hasn't been needed badly enough to
persuade a developer to implement it. And looking at the effort I
estimate behind designing this right (not just as a quick hack), I guess
there are far more pressing issues...
And I wouldn't blame subversion for the fact that your repo admin won't
allow functionality which is there.
Best regards,
Andreas
