We want it both ways. Clearly the CVS way is not good enough (in Emacs,
we supplement it with a ChangeLog file to make up for it. With subversion
we could just use `svn log .' instead).

I don't think we need to go that far. As I pointed out, you can
simply use a formatting convention and parse the output of `svn log'.
As a matter of fact, the subversion repository seems to follow such
a convention.
This has the advantage that the comment can be changed later on,
contrary to properties.
