Whoa. Even more processing to do for each commit during a "git log" run? 
You know, other people are working on _accelerating_ git log as we speak!

And really, while I can understand that the OP wanted to hide the 
information, I am really against that. For example, when I see a log with 
git-svn footers, it gives me _additional_ information which I actually 
like (it tells me where these commits really come from). If they do not 
need bidirectional, they can skip those footers.

But I do agree that it is better to put the information into the same 
objects rather than notes, lest the information get out-of-sync.

Ciao,
Dscho
