Greetings Travis.

Subversion does allow editing of change logs, though the process isn't
the most straight forward.  One description of the process can be found
at
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.reposadmin.maint.html#svn.reposadmin.maint.setlog
.  I believe we have access to the 'svn propset' command.

Updates made in this manner aren't processed by the JIRA hooks, so it
isn't possible to go back and add a JIRA reference, and have the change
be automatically added to the JIRA task.
