Thanks for looking into this. My feeling has been that, if we give up
on reposurgeon, there's no need to start a new conversion at all: we
can just switch the current mirror over to being the primary
repository with some minor surgery (e.g. using git filter-branch to
fix subdirectory branches). That approach will produce the least
disruption in the workflows of people already using it. Do you see a
problem with this?
