It does, but not for the reasons you might assume. I had forgotten
that the tokens which make up an SVN-ACTION item (the action itself,
paths and revisions and such, etc.) are not first-class Apache log
tokens like USERNAME, TIMESTAMP, and, in fact, SVN-ACTION itself.

There was a time when I was talking with Ben about using multiple
envvars, like:

   SVN-ACTION
   SVN-PATH1
   SVN-REV1
   SVN-PATH2
   SVN-REV2
   SVN-PROPNAME
   SVN-PROPVAL
   ...

So that admins could customize their logs, but I forgot that we
dropped that because the complexity was overbearing.
