Subversion hooks in config folder

I want to enable the users of my SVN repository to edit the commit messages, but I only have access to the .subversion directory.

Inside this directory there is a auth directory, a config and servers file and a README.txt (which don't have instructions for hooks).

I read that I need to add a file to the hooks folder but I can't access it.

Is there a way to create hooks adding a file or script in this .subversion directory?

The .subversion directory is found in each user's home directory after executing a Subversion client once. It stores that user's configuration settings for their client, and nothing more. What you find here has absolutely no effect on server configuration.

Hook scripts must be installed into the hooks directory of the repository itself - you need to have some level of administrative access to the server to do this.
