You could also set any arbitrary new property of the revision if you
like, e.g. this post-commit hook sets a new property on the revision
called "ipaddress" (but you'll have to figure out how to get the IP
address):

#!/bin/sh

REPOS="$1"
REV="$2"

IPADDRESS="you'll have to figure it out"

svn propset ipaddress --revprop -r "${REV}" "${IPADDRESS}" "file://$
{REPOS}"
