While I am sure Eric and git-svn users would appreciate a fix, please do not write a commit log message like this.

Having a pointer to additional material is a very good practice, and will be appreciated by the readers, but giving a pointer and nothing else means that you are forcing your readers to hunt for out-of-line information.

One person who writes can spend an extra few minutes to summarize the issue, and it will save time and effort for hundreds of readers.

If what is written is worth being read by that many readers, that is, and in this case I am sure it is ;-).
