Default setting for All New projects and Individual settings for existing projects.

I added login message size to my SVN as a property thinking this would help but Ankh seems to override it? I'm new to SVN and ankh - but this would be a great enhancement.

We use a pre-commit-hook on the repo itself. This prevents them circumventing it with tortoise.
@echo off
SET SVNLOOK=svnlook.exe
SET GREP=grep.exeREM Prevent changes to tags.
("%svnlook%" changed -t %2 %1 | "%grep%" "^U.*/tags/") && (echo Cannot commit an update to a tag.>&2 && exit 1)REM Prevent commits without comments.
("%svnlook%" log -t %2 %1 | "%grep%" "[a-zA-Z0-9]") || (echo You must specify a comment for all actions.>&2 && exit 1)exit 0

Make sure the message is trimmed so that it can't be fooled by developer hitting space.
