setting revision properties with 'svn commit'?

["Edward S. Marshall" <es...@logic.net>]

Hi,

I was thinking today about the possible use of revision properties to
store issue tracking data (specifically, a property that would hold
issue tracker identifiers, ala 'bugtracker:issues' => '12345, 12346'),
and realized that there's no way (with the command-line client) to
atomically perform the commit and set a revision property on that change
in one pass; you'd need to write a script wrapper around svn ala "svnci"
or some such, parse the returned data, and then set a revision property
based on a successful commit.

Just like you can set a log message for a revision on the svn command
line, perhaps the ability to generically set properties for the commit
ought to exist (possibly with 'svn -m' just being a shorthand for the
longer notation)?

No code here, just an idea for discussion, sorry. ;-)
