I've just noticed that freebsd commits on github come with a git note.
If you look past the diff of the commit, you will see a note that
contains path and revision number.

For example:
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/commit/fa32f1f570be8b878b2965d95b7dbdc37a953938

has a note that says:
svn path=/head/; revision=239998

So, information is there, it's just not part of the log message itself
unless you add '--show-notes=*'

While I'm sort of got used to git-svn-id being part of committed log
messages, keeping conversion metadata separate from the content does
make sense.
