When converting an svn repository to git, I am filtering the commits using --msg-filter. During this conversion I want to use the .git-rewrite/map data to fill in references to other commits. In the svn repo, there is a commit message e.g. "Cherry-pick r207", and I want to append "r207 = <commit>" to the git commit message, as r207 no longer means very much. This works fine when the git commit corresponding to r207 has been filtered before the current commit, and is present in the map. When filtering in --topo-order, this is not always the case, making it impossible to look up the git commit.
