Re: git-svn rebase screwing up commit messages

Having said all that, so that the readers understand the
background, here is a not-so-heavily-tested patch, which might
help.  It passes all the test suite as before, but that tells
how existing git-svn tests do not test many things.

I am not considering this for inclusion right now, by the way.

FWIW your patch fixed my test case here.

Actually the patched behaviour actively encourages a bad (not in
the sense that those oneline tools will not work well, but in
the sense that these messages are reader unfriendly) practice; I
do not think what the patch did deserves to be called "fixed".

And that is one of the reasons, other than that we are in -rc
freeze that we do not add anything but unarguable fixes, that I
am not considering the patch for inclusion right now.
