RE: [TSVN] tsvn:logtemplate question - suggestions

An overview of what would be cool for variable substitution in log templates

$tab$, $space$, $nl$
Ability to incorporate simple formatting $tab$, inserts a tab space $space$,
inserts a space, $nl$ inserts a newline - you could even get rid of these
and just use c style escaped ascii in the log template definition.

$FileList$ (I know you said NO already but just bear with me) Code that
parses this keyword will create a list of manipulated files along with their
status.

Ability to customize the layout of the $FileList$
$FileList$="$StatusFlag$ :$tab$ $FileItem$ $nl$ (Details Of Change)"
Note:
$FileItem$ is an individual file name & path
$StatusFlag$ is an individual status flag for a specific file name & path

Ability to customize status flags which go inside FileList
$add$="something"
$change$="something"
$delete$="something"
$lock$/$unlock$="something" (does (un)lock end up in commit records?)

$AutoBugId$, $ManualBugId$
Ability to define manual and 'automajic' bugid associations.
At least for the moment (iirc) you cant associate two different bug id's to
a commit. Associate a fix for one bugID and associate a reference to
another. So at least for the moment have the ability for two types of bugID
flags.

$AutoBugId$ = what is filled in from the tsvn ui
$ManualBugId$ = what is filled in by a human

Manual & Auto bugID could have the values
$AutoBugId$="[]" content form the UI would be inserted inbetween the []
$ManualBugId$="[refs #][closes #]" compiles with my bug-management software
(trac)

You would need to have two 'sections' inside tvsn:logtemplate, one which
defines the values for the variables and the other which defines the
template layout.

Maybe stuff the variable association inside {}

IE:
An example of a log template could be (stored inside tvsn:logtemplate)

---
{
$FileList$="$StatusFlag$ :$tab$ $FileItem$ $nl$ $tab$(Details Of Change)"
$add$="+"
$change$="~"	
$delete$="-"
$ManualBugId$="[refs #][closes #]"
}
Brief Description ...
$FileList$
$ManualBugId$

An example of what would be generated when the "insert template" button is
clicked
---
+ :	/someFolder/someFile.cs
	(Details Of Change)
~ :	/someFolder/someOtherFile.cs
	(Details Of Change)
~ :	/someOtherFolder/someFile.cs
	(Details Of Change)
[refs #][closes #]
---
You could then add some notes as to what was changed
An example of what would end up being committed
---
Does some stuff
- + :	/someFolder/someFile.cs
       someProcedureName(..) was not properly validating the imputs given
changed its argument sanity check procedure.
- ~ :	/someFolder/someOtherFile.cs
	 someOtherProcedure(..) was returning a incorrect object.
- ~ :	/someOtherFolder/someFile.cs
[refs #1]
---
what it comes down to is that I believe we need need something that is
flexible enough to be able to be molded around the needs of different
groups.

Right now, it doesn't. But of course you can make suggestions ;)
What variables do you want to substitute and what for? I can't see right 
now what this would be useful for, can you make an example?
