Is it possible to change the content i.e. the value of the xml description attribute by commit hook? I had a look at red bean book and search the net for hints. I only found 'svnlook cat' to echo the content of the file but I did not find a means to alter the content. Is it possible to achieve or do I need to make a check on the content and fail the commit if the required bits of information in the content is not present?

Have you tried using keywords?

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.8/svn.advanced.props.special.keywords.html

You might be able to use a pre-commit hook to verify that the keywords are present and that the svn:keywords property is set on the file -- not the modify the content but to reject the commit if they are missing.
