The subversion project has no intention to add client side hooks:
they're a security nuisance at least. It's a topic too hairy to touch.
However, if you want to extend Subversion, you're ofcourse free do
develop wrapper scripts, or implement the client functionality in any
of the extention languages using the language bindings.

Why not build the commit logic using the perl and/or python bindings?
99% is offered out of the box by the libsvn_client bindings...
