How to edit log message already committed in Subversion?

Question

Is there a way to edit the log message of a certain revision in Subversion? I accidentally wrote the wrong filename in my commit message which could be confusing later.

I found a nice implementation of the server side pre-rev-prop-change hook at the svnforum: https://www.svnforum.org/forum/opensource-subversion-forums/scripts-contributions/8571-pre-revprop-change-shell-script-allows-commiters-to-change-own-log-within-x-hours

It implements

• user checking, that is only own commit messages can be edited.
• Svn admin override; admin can edit anything.
• time stamp comparison: only commits that are younger than certain time can be edited

Grab it from there and edit at will. I'd rather not copy it here since I am not the original author and there is no copyright notice that would allow me to do it.
