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
