I don't think this is possible. You have the pre-commit hook, which fires before the commit; you can examine the commit and reject it at that time if desired. Assuming you don't reject it, the commit goes to Subversion's engine which writes it to the repository. Then it calls the post-commit hook, where you can do additional operations like send email notifications about the commit. What circumstance to you envision in which the commit is not successful, and what automated action do you intend to perform as a result?
