I haven't reviewed the patch, but the custom keywords system looks
completely sane to me (and even intuitive, for a certain demographic
anyway).  +1 to concept.

Yeah, I like this design much better than my attempt to turn properties into 
keywords:

It's been so long since I was in this deep into the Subversion code, I'd hate to
offer anything more than a conditional "I've read through the patch and it looks 
like it does what it says it does".

I do agree that the %H and %I syntactic sugar formats are not strictly 
necessary, and the fact that they are exclusive of any other format string makes 
them less useful.  I would actually take them out in preference to writing out 
the longer forms, but it wouldn't be terrible if they were left in (and 
documented thoroughly)...
