[llvm-dev] mini RFC: adding a tag for the SVN -> github migration

Proposal:

$ git tag -a r375505 186155b89c2d2a2f62337081e3ca15f676c9434b -m "Last SVN
commit before switchover to github."
$ git push origin r375505

Why?

This makes "git describe" produce usable linear revision numbers that are a
natural continuation of the SVN revision numbering. For example, a git
describe on HEAD from earlier today gives:

$ git describe
r375505-115-g9b8dd004034

(That is: r375505 plus 115 git commits = 9b8dd004034)

This isn't intended to be an official revision number, nor a long-term
solution to the numbering problem, but seems useful in the short term.

Thoughts?
