Of course, you're right. The tricky thing was that I tested the
following code:

(let ((f '(lambda (x))))
  (evil-add-command-properties f :repeat t)
  (evil-get-command-property f :repeat))

This code returns t the first time it is called but nil all other
times, which confused me. I assume the reason is that add-to-list,
which is used by `evil-put-property', uses equal internally instead of
eq, and so the second time the lambda f is not added to
evil-command-properties (there is already an equal lambda in there).
Perhaps it's better either not to use `add-to-list' (so that non-eq
lambdas are always considered different, also on put, otherwise it
would be impossible to store two different lambdas that happen to be
equal) or to use `assoc'. I think the first one is better.
