On top of that sometimes the ChangeLog merges cleanly but puts your entry underneath others, and then you have to open the file and move your entry back to the top. Sometimes I have not noticed this and then I land with someone else's commit message.

I just don't get why people are willing to put up with this. It's really driving me crazy.

One possibility is to have a commit hook that builds the ChangeLog entry and includes it in the commit atomically - that way there are no races.

Hooks in Subversion cannot mutate the transaction that is taking place so I don't think this is an option.

Is there any sort of guarantee that a post commit hook for revision N will complete before the post commit hook for revision N + 1 executes?

Couldn't that accomplish this?
