Answer 1

If you are using TortoiseSVN only then you can add TortoiseSVN's property to the root directory: property name: tsvn:logminsize value: 1 This will disable OK button in TortoiseSVN commit window then Message is empty. Please be aware that this property is TortoiseSVN specific it might not work with other SVN client.
