For (1), it looks like the SVN commit history doesn't contain the full name either: Bochs x86 PC emulator / Code / Commit [r14349] (sourceforge.net) <https://sourceforge.net/p/bochs/code/14349/>. To be consistent, shall we just reuse whatever is in SVN history for the new git repo? For (2), I can take a look and see if we can remove the backward pointer. Anything else I missed?
