Just to clarify that, the latest svn-all-fast-export (confusingly in the 
renamed repo svn2git on gitorious) now allows this via --add-metadata:

Usage: /home/cjfields/src/svn2git/svn-all-fast-export [OPTION] [Path to 
subversion repo]

Options:
       --identity-map    provide map between svn username and email
       --rules           the rules file that determines what goes where
       --add-metadata    if passed, each git commit will have svn commit info
       --resume-from     start importing at svn revision number
       --max-rev         stop importing at svn revision number
       --dry-run         don't actually write anything
       --debug-rules     print what rule is being used for each file
       --commit-interval if passed the cache will be flushed to git every 
NUMBER of commits
    -h --help            show help
    -v --version         show version
