Well this is a possibility, of course. Our problem is that our SVN repository contains about 220.000 revisions currently. As a colleague of mine said that the command you suggest might take about 4 seconds per revision, it would take about 10 days to do this for our whole repository. So of course it could save a lot of time generally if such operation could be done immediately during git-svn.

You can migrate your repo from SVN to Git as is. Afterwards you can fix up the commit messages with the following command: git filter-branch -f --msg-filter 'perl -lape "s/^T(\d+)/#\$1/"' (this might take a while on a large repo) - Lars
