Comment:

 I like the flexibility of it, for sure.  We don't currently have a great
 way to get properties out of dictionaries, though, and I'm loathe to
 create a desire for that.

 Way back when we first started talking about dictionaries in properties,
 we were thinking of keying them on repostitory (we hadn't invented
 "codebase" yet).  I wonder if this would be *more* usable if the
 properties were just named with the codebase, e.g., "%s-commit-
 description", maybe with a fallback to just "commit-description" for the
 empty codebase?

 I'm not suggesting that change just yet -- I'd like to hear what others
 think first.
