It depends greatly on the access control methods. pre-commit scripts, svnserve.conf for svn:// repositories, /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf for the HTTPS based RPM's,, filesystem access based control, and all sorts of complex local setups prevent being able to do a simple "pre-test this" operation.
