This can be useful situations where you have a batch of commits to
cherry-pick and need to prefix each new commit message with similar
information

Sounds reasonable.

It might be "usable in some limited context", but does not sound
"reasonable" at all, sorry.

Especially since we will be getting "replay more than one commits in
sequence", I would say it would make more sense to allow this kind of
per-invocation (iow, command line option) commit transmonger a bit more
flexibility, e.g. being a filter, or even a script that takes the original
commit object name (so that it can consult git-vs-svn mapping in it if it
wants to, for example).
