Okay. But my point was really, "shouldn't the new block you're adding
apply to any prop that svn_prop_needs_translation() returns TRUE for,
rather than only for SVN_PROP_REVISION_LOG?"

That's why I suggested svn_prop_needs_translation(). Have you read its
docstring?

svn:log is certainly the most common case. I think we had very few
reports on users@ of this error occurring with other props (e.g.,
svn:author and svn:externals).

If you build --enable-maintainer-mode, you should get the file-line
coordinates of where the error was raised (and most places that
returned it, too).
Failing that, there's a shortcut that works most of the time: look in
subversion/po/fr.po for "Error while replaying commit" :-)
