Enabling edition of log comments

Copy the code below into a text file and name it pre-revprop-change.bat and save it in the /hooks subdirectory for your repository.

Only allow the log message to be changed, but not author, etc.

if /I not "%propertyName%" == "svn:log" goto ERROR_PROPNAME

if /I not "%action%" == "M" goto ERROR_ACTION

Make sure that the new svn:log message is not empty.
