A quick 1 or 2 liner would be best.

Something like:

MFC: rev 1.22-25: fix fubar in frobotz() routine
PR: 9999

That way it's more obvious what it is.  If you read the cvs log for the 
file and see the primary commits, it's a lot easier to figure out if it's 
already gone into 2.2.x or not with a quick cross-reference.  Duplicating 
the entire log message is excessive, but enough to identify the source is 
good.

The PR: on a seperate line seems to be something that some people use.
