Sometimes when I try to quickly repeat my last command in the terminal, I end up firing off a svn commit. Unlike with Git, you cannot modify commits in Subversion, but you can modify a revision’s properties — like the log message.
Here’s how:
svn propedit --revprop -r 1232 svn:log
This will open your $EDITOR and it lets you edit the log message for the specified commit (1232).
Note: in order to make this work, you repository needs to be configured correctly. This means you should rename /path/to/your/repo/hooks/pre-revprop-change.tmpl to /path/to/your/repo/hooks/pre-revprop-change and chmod +x it.
