You can set create any revision property you want. However:
* You can only create a revision property once the revision is
created. You can't (like file properties) create a property on a
commit.
* In order to modify or create a revision property, you must define a
hook script to allow you to change those properties. This hook script
can simply be "exit 0", but that would allow anyone to change any
revision property including the log, the author, and even the date
that the revision was created. Even if you want people to be able to
freely create other revision properties, you probably want to limit
access to these three revision properties.
* There isn't any simple mechanism to find a specific revision
property (except for the svn:log, svn:date, and svn:author which are
listed via the "svn log" command).
* Like other properties, you should not start a revision property with
"svn:" since that's reserved for Subversion.
