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 ;-).

Thanks for the note.  Some projects really hate long commit messages, and 
some love them, and I wasn't sure what type of project this is.

Would you like me to rewrite and re-submit this, or are you editing and 
committing?

for the actual code, not the commit message:

We are the latter :)

One thing I've found with distributed VCS is that it's easier and
convenient to write very detailed commit messages as documentation so I
can go back and reference them easily.

Also, the commit messages are written in the heat of the moment so the
code is fresh in my mind rather than going back at the end and then
writing more documentation/comments later on.  With this synchronous
behavior, the commit message will always valid for that particular
changeset.

Probably due to my workflow, I've always found asynchronously maintained
code and documentation to be quite difficult and documentation always
dragged behind.

I'd prefer it'd be straight from the patch author's mouth/fingers :)

Thanks John,

Thanks, folks.  I have sent a new patch with a longer explanation.

[PATCH] Fix dcommit, rebase when rewriteRoot is in use

[John Goerzen]

When the rewriteRoot setting is used with git-svn, it causes the svn
IDs added to commit messages to bear a different URL than is actually
used to retrieve Subversion data.

It is common for Subversion repositories to be available multiple
ways: for instance, HTTP to the public, and svn+ssh to people with
commit access.  The need to switch URLs for access is fairly common as
well -- perhaps someone was just given commit access.  To switch URLs
without having to rewrite history, one can use the old url as a
rewriteRoot, and use the new one in the svn-remote url setting.

This works well for svn fetching and general git commands.

However, git-svn dcommit, rebase, and perhaps other commands do not
work in this scenario.  They scan the svn ID lines in commit messages
and attempt to match them up with url lines in [svn-remote] sections
in the git config.

This patch allows them to match rewriteRoot options, if such options
are present.
