You need to obtain and install a pre-revprop-change hook script to override the default behavior of disallowing editing log messages.
Obtaining the pre-revprop-change hook script is a simple matter: the Windows version (from Philibert Perusse) is available on the StackOverflow post Common Types of Subversion Hooks. And you already have the Unix/Linux version in your Subversion repository hooks directory. (For an instantly available version, though, see this StackOverflow post.)
Installing the hook script is almost as easy. You must have access to your repository (or talk to your system admin). Then just copy the script into the hooks subdirectory in the repository. The
hooksdirectory comes pre-populated with templates for a variety of hooks. Thepre-revprop-change.tmplis a template containing the Unix/Linux version, plus instructions for the Windows version. (If you want to explore more about these hooks but do not have access to the repository, just create your own dummy repository (TortoiseSVN >> Create repository here) and look in thehookssubfolder it generates.)
