I figured that would be the response, and do not disagree, but if the
validation were configurable and the default was to not require the
property, I think it could be a good enhancement. In my personal opinion,
I think an issue ID is just as relevant as a log message. We would rather
have our people write their notes in the issue system and I see this as
two sides of the same coin. I think this would be a good area for svn to
distinguish itself from the field and it could make it easier for those of
us with issue tracking systems to integrate in a better manner.

That sounds pretty good to me. I really didn't think that even --id would
be acceptable because it seems like it would be confused with the $Id$
keyword. I just do not like --bug and wanted to keep the example generic.

I always wondered about why sometimes it was two dashes. That makes
sense!
