 I think we would benefit from a [https://svnbook.red-
 bean.com/en/1.7/svn.ref.reposhooks.pre-commit.html pre-commit hook] which
 checks to make sure that commit messages are not empty.

 I think we could do something like (untested):

 {{{
 #!/bin/sh

 REPO="$1"
 MSG="$2"

 SVNLOOK=/usr/bin/svnlook
 MINSIZE=10

 MSGSIZE=${#MSG}
 OK=1;

 $SVNLOOK log -t "$REPO" "MSG" | grep "[a-zA-Z0-9]" > /dev/null || OK=0
 if [ $SVNLOOKOK -eq 0 || "$MSGSIZE" -le "$MINSIZE" ]; then
     echo "Empty commit messages are not allowed. Please provide a proper
 message." 1>&2
     exit 1
 fi
 exit 0
 }}}
