ideas: revision properties & svn log

Hi all,

After looking recently at how revision properties can be used in
subversion, and reading some recent mails regarding --revprop support in
svnlook, a couple of thoughts occured to me. It seems that subversion
would benefit from having a bit more syntax for supporting revprops.

1.

It would be nice if we could have some syntax for setting revision
properties on the svn commit command line, as already described here:
http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2004-12/0501.shtml

(My motivation here, as I think someone else mentioned, is for
bug-tracking. But I'm sure there are other uses.)

2.

svn log currently lists the svn:log revprops associated with revisions
in which a given file was changed. It would be nice if we could make
this more general, i.e. list arbitrary / all revprops - currently this
information is a bit tricky to get hold of. I wonder if in fact listing
all revprops ought to be the default?

svn log file --revprop propertyname

or

svn log file --revprop svn:allprops

(syntax for the latter could no doubt be improved).

Regards

Dave
