Modifying log message in the pre-commit hook?

[Kylo Ginsberg <ky...@gmail.com>]

I know the subversion party line is "thou shalt not modify a
transaction in the pre-commit hook" but I have to ask anyway ;>.

Is there any harm in massaging the log message component?  (And, can I do so?)

Thanks,
Kylo

Modifying the revision properties should do no harm (and svn:log is a  
revision property)... But I'm not sure how to set a revision property  
of a transaction... Maybe it doesn't have any yet, because it is not  
a revision yet? Looking at the help of "svn propset" and "svnadmin  
setlog" I only see the -r option to specify a revision number, and no  
-t option to specify at transaction ID.

I know you can set the log of the revision, after it's been  
committed, in the post-commit hook, using "svnadmin setlog -r $REPO  
$REV $FILE" (where $FILE is a file containing the new log message).  
At least that's what the help says.
