Hi there,
this is actually not really a bug report, but much more a feature request (if I did not oversee an already existing feature like this):
We want to migrate our SVN repository to GIT and will be using git-svn for that of course. Currently in SVN, all our commit log messages start either with:
123456 (a number, representing the Bug Id in our old legacy bug tracker)
or
T123456 (a number, but prefixed with T, referring a TFS item in this case)
During conversion to GIT, we want to replace the T in such log messages with a #, so commits, referring a TFS item will start with #123456 in the future. We dont care about log messages which do not start with a T, only the TXXXXXX messages need to be transformed here.
I guess an operation like this is currently not possible with git-svn, isnt it? So it would be nice, if a feature could be implemented that gives the user the possibility to specify some kind of script file for example, which transforms the log message in any way we want it.
