About 5 years ago, I wrote a Perl script for Subversion that did all
sorts of pre-commit checking. Quite a few people used the script on
their sites over the years, but the code was convoluted and hard to
maintain. Plus, I was dependent upon some non-standard Perl modules
that a few people couldn't install on their system.

I have decided it was time to revamp the script to take care of a few
issues. I have removed the dependencies on non-standard Perl modules,
and redid the code in a more object oriented fashion to improve
readability and maintenance.

When I first did the script, you couldn't set revision properties on a
commit. Now that you can, I'd like to give users the ability to verify
that these revision properties have been set.
