You are talking about revision properties. While it is true that
Subversion has these, it does not have good API support for them yet. For
example, it is not possible to set them as part of a commit. You can only
commit and then set them after, which is not atomic. We have an open
enhancement request in Subversion for this.

The next problem with revision properties is that Subversion doesn't
really have good API's for retrieving or finding them, so even if you set
them, it is hard to make use of them in a generic manner.

These are the reasons that our bug-tracking spec is sticking with the log
message for the time being. Everyone agrees that revision properties are
the place where this belongs, but Subversion just isn't ready for this
yet.
