As a aside, I use these aliases often with the current git-svn repo:
$ git help srev
'srev' is aliased to 'svn log --show-commit --oneline -r'
$ git srev 276968
r276968 | aa45db50a03 | PR c++/91930 - ICE with constrained
inherited default ctor.
$ git help sshow
'sshow' is aliased to '!f(){ git srev ${1#r} | awk -F '|'
'/^r[[:digit:]]/ {if (length($2)) print $2}' | xargs --no-run-if-empty
git show ; }; f'
These won't work once we move to Git though.
