I've tried writing a small chrome extension which creates links for
the subversion tags (e.g. [SVN r1234]) in github and bitbucket. It's
at:

http://www.calamity.org.uk/x/boost-link.crx

Because it isn't in the chrome store, it has to be manually installed.
To do this download the file, go to the chrome extension page (either
through the menu, or at chrome://extensions/), and drag the file into
the extension list.

It currently only works for the 'boostorg' repositories, as I don't
want to mess around with anything unrelated. I might extend it later
to handle some of the trac tags.

Source code is at:

It turned out to be a little trickier than I thought because of
github's javascript navigation. But it seems to work okay.
