Yea, that was silly :).

But on further investigation, I found this entry under Bug 14001 on
launchpad:

Yes. This is in fact a Subversion bug - it is not possible in Subversion
to commit revisions under a different username than the one that is
authenticated to the SVN repository.

bzr-svn does store this information in the Subversion repository - in a
bzr-svn specific property - so you can see it with 'bzr log' on the SVN
repository, but it is not visible in, for example, 'svn log'.

Is this problem still true?

This is a deal-breaker for my boss. When he does an 'svn log' he wants
to see the author of the work not the pqm user that automatically checks
it in.

I was hoping you could get the bzr:author and replace the svn:log with
it.
