I don't claim to be a subversion expert but...


Subversion has something called "hooks" which allow arbitrary 
server-side actions to be performed.  The one you're most likely to be 
interested in for this is the pre-commit hook.

A hook can do anything, and can be written in any language.  The hook 
itself is nothing more than a shell script which exits with a success or 
failure code.

Some example hook templates, by default, are created in your svn repo's 
root in a directory called "hooks".

Mart.
