That would be nice.

True enough. A pre-commit hook would probably be a better validation
anyway since it would work with the command line too. I think one negative
to not going with revision properties, is that they cannot be easily
changed after the fact. Yes, the log message can be fixed later, but a
revision property would be easier to fix.
