Maybe we could have parameters that are prefixed by the fieldname, like
for instance, in a two parameter
repos-path=/path/to/repos revision=2 author=myself propname=affectedProp
action=A

in case author is absent, it would be
repos-path=/path/to/repos revision=2 propname=affectedProp action=A

similarly for other empty parameters....
