Another way would be to have SVN version numbers in commit
message (--grep option works fine, if those version numbers have 
fixed format). 

The version numbers git-svn outputs are ugly, but filter-branch
can be pretty easily rewrite those into more pretty form,
something like

"This was SVN r123" or "SVN-version: r123".

(adjust to taste)
