I think the current svn server setup allows this only in a shell on code.gnucash.org (and using "svnadmin", I think). Given the other disadvantages of this that we've already discussed, I believe this is a useful restriction. In this case it's a bit unfortunate but on the other hand it isn't a problem for the contributor and we can very well continue to live with the messages we have.
