Any decent bug/ticket/issue tracking system should be able to fire a trigger/hook/event script to precreate the branch, set auth permissions on it (match svn usernames to the issue tracker's login,) send emails, etc..

The submitter would simply flip a bit-field on the ticket, the ticket software does all the setup work, the submitter submits the code to the branch, and when done, flips a status flag in the ticket tracker to indicate that the code is ready to be looked at. This has the benefit for forcing folks to go through the ticket system before delivering code.

So yeah, it's definitely not a subversion thing. It's a bug/ticket/issue/workflow application thing.

Subversion == database
Bug/ticket/issue/workflow app == process control
