Scratch that. SVN metadata in github freebsd repo is very inconsistent.

head has git-svn-id but no notes (at least I didn't see then on few
randomly picked commits).

branches have no git-svn-id, but some commits have notes with SVN info
attached to them.

The bottom line is that for many revisions it will indeed be very hard
to figure out corresponding commit in SVN. I guess I'll be sticking
with gitorious for the time being.
