Very, very few svn management tools do any reasonable job of providing at-a-glance review to the human user for svn property metadata, outside of the revprop svn:log. At least, I haven't used one. The rules on any commit are Who what when where why. Usually takes not more than a sentence, sometimes a submitted by, sometimes a PR ticket. If it appeared on the original commit, it must appear in the log message of all other commits. Why would one delete that data? To make it more troublesome using viewvc to rewind WTF just happened? So, backport log message == original log message + original commit rev no.
