Subject: Tracking changes in git with a change number....

We are getting ready to switch over to git as our CM tool, but have an issue.

In our organization we track changes via a Change Request (CR) number.  We may end up with multiple commits, by one or more users under a single CR number.  When we deliver our CM folks want to be able to see all the files that have changed for a particular CR number.  Is there an elegant way to do this in git? 

Restating the problem.  I wish for our developers to be able to reference multiple commits with one number, and then find those commits via that number.  And I don't mind scripting to accomplish this.  I know, that CR # can be put in the commit message, then I can grep and parse the log, that is the hard way.

It would seem that this would be a relatively common problem.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!
