migrating to git: keep subversion revision numbers (as tags?)

Hi,

I would like to completely migrate from subversion to git (and NOT have subversion enabled anymore). However, I need to be able to lookup the old subversion revision numbers later from the git repository. The default seems to be though, that they are replaced by git sha-1 keys.

It would be completely o.k. here to use git tags for all those subversion revision numbers (if possible), so, to create a tag for each subversion revision. However, I have neither seen any option in git nor found a script which does that upon cloning (converting) a subversion repo into a git repo.

Is there a way to do so?
Thank You
 Felix
