We (bugmeister) already have this on our radar to address, and we'll
come up with a scheme that suits both the historical case and most
obvious current case.

I believe the majority of historical refs are
"<repo> r<integer>". Previous automated svn commit comments were full
svn url's

I replied to a post on freebsd-current (subject: linking to git
revisions in bugzilla) on 12/Apr to this effect, with an 'in the 
meantime' recommendation, copied below:

If anything needs to be tweaked post-fact (updating comments), we'll do 
that too.
