Yes, I didn't say it was difficult, just that it was not that 
easy/straightforward as I was guessing at first. :)

This can actually be solved in a number of possible ways without big
alterations to redmine, such as by tagging each svn-imported commit
with its svn commit id.

This can be done within the standard tag namespace, possibly with a
common prefix such as svnid/&lt;someid&gt;, or within a distinct refs
namespace. Redmine of course would still need to be adapted to turn
the svn commit id links into links to these tags, which is rather
straightforward.
