Only as long as the git stays read-only. Just because no such move is planned
YET, it does not mean it won't happen in some years.

I attached a more elaborate version. It now shows, "in order of likelihood":

SVN-r12345-4.4.1
    if it is identical to a git-svn commit in master

SVN-r12345+LOCAL-4.4.1
    if it is identical to a git-svn commit in master plus local uncommitted changes

SVN-r12345+badf00d-4.4.1
    if it is identical to a git commit not on master that is derived from a git-svn
    commit on master

SVN-r12345+badf00d+LOCAL-4.4.1
    if it is identical to a git commit not on master that is derived from a git-svn
    commit on master plus local uncommitted changes

git-dedbeef-4.4.1
    if it is identical to a git commit on master

git-dedbeef+LOCAL-4.4.1
    if it is identical to a git commit on master plus local changes

git-dedbeef+badf00d-4.4.1
    if it is identical to a git commit not on master that is derived from a git
    commit on master

git-dedbeef+badf00d+LOCAL-4.4.1
    if it is identical to a git commit not on master that is derived from a git
    commit on master

git+badf00d-4.4.1
    if it is identical to a git commit not on master that has no common history
    with master

git+badf00d+LOCAL-4.4.1
    if it is identical to a git commit not on master that has no common history
    with master plus local changes

Is that beter?

Best regards,

Rudolf Polzer
