Hi,

I would like to completely migrate from subversion to git
(and NOT have subversion enabled anymore). However, I need
to be able to lookup the old subversion revision numbers
later from the git repository. The default seems to be
though, that they are replaced by git sha-1 keys.

It would be completely o.k. here to use git tags for all
those subversion revision numbers (if possible), so, to
create a tag for each subversion revision. However, I have
neither seen any option in git nor found a script which does
that upon cloning (converting) a subversion repo into a git
repo.

Is there a way to do so?

Thank You
 Felix
