Why? So that the svn logfile can write "username commit REVNUM"
instead of "username commit"?

I'm skeptical we need that information in the svn logfile. The
repository itself is already recording commits in extreme detail.
You can run 'svn log' to see absolutely everything you'd ever want to
know about any write action. As Greg Hudson pointed out earlier, the
main problem we're trying to solve here is to get records of *read*
operations.
