Since this is for the commit dialog, I'd rather have that file stored
directly in the property itself. I guess you already know that I don't
like any repository (or other remote) access in the commit dialog :)

That's not too complicated (apart from being in XML - maybe some clean
config-file like syntax would do the job too).

This however might be a little bit more complicated.

Sorry, but I don't understand how this should work.
I guess you want to have the autocompletion feature show
"Open"
"InProgress"
"InVerification"
"Closed"
as soon as the user types 'state:'.
But what should be done exactly when the user types 'time:' ?
And what would pressing the escapeValue char do?
