That's a good question, and the answer will define how we find svn
revs in the future. But I don't think there are a lot of wrong answers
here, we just have to pick one and stick to it.

I don't know enough about how git queries commit messages to have a
strong opinion, but I imagine on subject is easier to grab than the
rest of the message, and it will show in GitHub's commit list.

It would be worse if we had hard rules against long subjects, but we
don't, so I guess it's ok from that point of view.

We normally use [TAG], so [rXXX] would "look" more natural to me, but
that's beyond bikeshedding, so whatever works. :)
