The SVN version control backend only seems to support parsing log files for changesets. It's the only option available when creating/editing repositories. The CVS backend apparently supports this option:

"Use external script to insert data"

Will this be added to versioncontrol_svn?

Er, yeah. I thought dhax's Git branch (which you obviously discovered already) added that option, but I haven't looked yet. If it doesn't, we need it.

Looking at the code, it seems that dhax has indeed enabled the "Use external script to insert data" option in his branch. The branch itself is still not merged into upstream (I'll be taking care of that asap) but that's up to issue #491544: Add hook scripts to subversion, thus this one is a duplicate.
