As noted at https://stackoverflow.com/q/4477765 , Git does not permanently record where a branch begins, and so it is hard to record exactly what changes were made for a purpose or topic. This is something we have relied on in Perforce, and information we would like to avoid losing when migrating to Git #98 .
We need to think of a way that we can record this information, or a way that it can reliably be retrieved from Git. If necessary, we might need to export the information from Perforce as well.
This issue is mentioned in proc.review.entry.change, where it required to record the complete change for a topic
