Ah, right. I like the third option: add new items in the most logical
place for the operation in question so that the logs remain readable.

I haven't done any logs analysis with the SVN operation logs, but I
would have thought that anything non-trivial would need to deal with the
different formats of the different commands anyway, so a semi-common log
format doesn't seem that attractive to me. YMMV (and like I said, I'm
not actually trying to do this).
