Server-driven configuration control?

[Matt England <me...@mengland.net>]

I would like to see the Subversion system one day support server-side 
configuration management of repo-wide activities.  ie, I don't want to have 
to force, manual, client-side changes (as per things like the "Standardize 
on ASCII type: dos2unix pre-commit hook?" thread started here: 
<http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2006-03/0516.shtml>, some text of which 
is commented below) in order to enforce repo-wide policies like standard 
ASCII formats, etc.

Is this is Subversions future, however far out it may be?

Matt, there are already a small stack of "hooks" published for exactly this 
sort of use. They're available at 
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/contrib/hook-scripts/.

This seems to be the feature request:
