No need to wait, I put together a script that shows the result of the rewriting :)
Thank you, Ezio! I and Ezio were working on this today afternoon and agreed that if we do rewrite of various formats issue NNNN to bpo-NNNN then doing it over entire commit message gives much better experience than doing it over the first line. We can judge this by looking at the actual output (from the script that Ezio shared). http://orsenthil.github.io/cpython-hg-to-git/ This picked up 1000 random revisions and added some tricky corner cases that we identified and did the re-write. Please view the output of commit logs converted here http://orsenthil.github.io/cpython-hg-to-git/ and see if it looks better than the status quo. The final decision on this should be Brett's to take. Thank you, Senthil
