Good points Johan,
For those interested;
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3690
Issue text;
Add an option to ignore files with only property changes and no content changes.
e.g. svn log --ignore-properties
Motivation: many users are not interested in reviewing changes to property changes
and only care about content changes.

A subset of this problem (namely, ignoring changes to svn:mergeinfo) is being addressed on the ignore-
mergeinfo branch:
