This is only a suggestion.
Like many others, I pull from the git archive to compile avidemux 2.6.
Would it be possible to include the commit version number from the svn repo in the git commit message?
Currently I compare
svn log svn://svn.berlios.de/avidemux/branches/avidemux_2.6_branch_mean | less
and
git log
to determine the r#### number before I compile.
As I said, it's not important. But if it could be easily done, it would be nice to have.
