Hello subversion crowd!

It would be very convenient to be able to get at a checkout of a repository as 
it would look like if a currently pending transaction would be applied. The 
only place and time this would make sense, though, would probably be inside a 
pre-commit hook script.

I.e. some kind of "svnlook checkout -t TXN REPOS_PATH" with TXN the 
transaction name that is supplied to the pre-commit script.

That way, all the changes that are pending could be analyzed consistently
in pre-commit, testing for example wheter a software project actually 
compiles, etc., and possibly rejecting the commit if these tests fail.

At the moment, something like that could in general by emulated by "svnlook 
tree REPOS_PATH -t TXN" and "svnlook cat" which, however, seems rather 
tedious.

Or, of course, in the post-commit hook, unfortunately there it is too late to 
reject the commit :)

This was in fact requested a while ago by James Ralston on the users Mailing
list, see 
http://subversion.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=1065&dsMessageId=29304

It would be great if something like that could be implented!
Greetings,
   Lorenz
