OK, how about a general mechanism like this:  If there is a property
:org-log-done:, it will be used instead of the current value of
org-log-done during TODO state changeing, like

* repetitive entry
   :PROPERTIES:
      :org-log-done: nil
   :END:

This kind of thing could be applied in more contexts - even though we 
will have
to select each context where we like this explicitly - it always needs 
some coding.
