Can you edit a log if you made a mistake when specifying some commit comments?

+1  A: 

Open the log messages window (Show Log), right click on log message and choose "Edit log message".

I get this error though: "a DAV request failed; It's possible that the repository's pre-revprop-change hook either failed or is non-existet" oh well. Thanks for that did not see it before.

You may need to add a hook for property changes; I had this error after upgrading from 1.4 to 1.6.

+2  A: 

By default, you cannot edit the log message. In order to change this default behavior, you (or your SVN administrator) need to set up an appropriate pre-revprop-change hook.

The online "Version Control with Subversion" book describes what a pre-revprop-change hook is and how to set one up.

This StackOverflow entry has pre-revprop-change content that you can cut-and-paste to enable log message edits.
