But there are oodles of options in git available to handle a cutover
like that:
- grafts
- filter-branch
- rebase (the new rebase toolset can even attempt to rebase a DAG onto an
existing DAG, not just linear patches))

So I'm whatever becomes the "official" git repo can simply be "grafted"
into your history, your your new development grafted on to the
"official" history...

But, if there is nothing wrong with the current repo (except that it
doesn't have tags), than we can easily add tags to it...
