For the projects I work on, we just use a variant of the standard svn
commit-email script.  I've put a copy up at
    http://www.wangafu.net/~nickm/svk/

Instead of the big pile of svk:merge tokens, it makes commit emails that
look like:

Property changes on: tor/trunk
___________________________________________________________________
 svk:merge ticket from /tor/trunk [r13364] on 8246c3cf-6607-4228-993b-4d95d33730f1

This has kept the people on the commits email list from killing me in
the past.
