Use a subversion pre-commit hook. Here are a few examples that require comments, it should be simple enough to modify them to work only when a cpp file is involved.

It is ideal to provide a commit message for any commit you are doing.

Anyway, you can setup a client side pre-commit hook using TortoiseSVN to see if the message is empty and if the file is a cpp file, you can block the commit.

If you want this to be done for everyone and can't ask everyone to setup client side hooks, you can setup a server side pre-commit hook to do the same. Note that TortoiseSVN client side commit hooks are very different from server side hooks.
