IMO the major point of this patch is precisely to *avoid* having to do 
that transformation. If you're already going to the trouble of 
converting svn identifiers into git identifiers, then you don't need 
another tool; you just stick the IDs in the grafts file and you're done.

I agree that this functionality is useful in general, though.
