Sorry for pointing this out if it was not obvious but Related to PR NNNNN or
commit id in the message is fine. You would have to figure out whether the
git id is more important or the PR for each commit as normally only one
of these is used.

Normally in my experience git bisect or revert use ids directly but 
everything
else can just use the ported svn or PR from Bugzilla. It really depends 
but the
ids are more for if your dealing with the projects history itself rather 
than  just
a bug on the bugzilla.

That's just my opinion through so take it wait a grain of salt,
