    There seem to be git repositories available under freebsd.org and
mirrors on github.  I'm not terribly clear about how official they
really are.  I'm particularly asking about the freebsd repository,
variously at git://git.freebsd.org/freebsd.git and
git://github.com/freebsd/freebsd.git .

    How does one map between svn commit IDs and git IDs with this
repository?  Most git-svn repositories include a git-svn-id: header at
the end of commit messages, but this repository doesn't.  The
freebsd-head repository at git://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-head.git
does have these tags, but is limited in scope.  It doesn't have enough
history for my needs.

    As references to commits in mailing lists are most likely to speak
of an svn ID, it's a big limitation.  There are a couple of other
applications where going back and forth between the ID spaces is
useful.

    Suggestions welcome.
