TortoiseSVN: Is there a conventional way to add link from commit message to other commit?

I'm trying to make a commit with a message referencing to other commit I've made before. For example, the message should be like:

It's a bugfix for a problem brought by commit #865

I'm looking for a way to do get "865" displayed as a link to previous commit that I can click and view (like the way it's possible for issue numbers from the bug tracking system intergrated with TortoiseSVN).

Is it possible?

What does red exclamation mark mean in TortoiseSVN?

As soon as you start editing a file, the status changes to modified and the icon overlay then changes to a red exclamation mark. That way you can easily see which files were changed since you last updated your working copy and need to be committed.

What is difference between commit and update in SVN?

Commit uploads your changes on the CVS / SVN server, and Update overwrites the files on your localhost with the ones on the server.

Can we change the commit message in SVN?

By default, the log message property (svn:log) cannot be edited once it is committed. That is because changes to revision properties (like svn:log) cause the property's previous value to be permanently discarded, and Subversion tries to prevent you from doing this accidentally.

How do you commit with TortoiseSVN?

Select any file and/or folders you want to commit, then TortoiseSVN → Commit.... The commit dialog will show you every changed file, including added, deleted and unversioned files. If you don't want a changed file to be committed, just uncheck that file.

Yes you can do this by simply typing the revision number you want to refer to like this:

r865

This feature was introduced in TortoiseSVN 1.7, so make sure you've got the right version.

Check the 1.7 release notes page for more information.

I don't think it's possible with Tortoise. But when you enter "865" in Log search bar you'll find revisions whose number is "865" and that include "865" in their comment.
