Hi,

I'd say it depends on how hard it is to "fix" one's history. If it's
just a config option instructing git to fetch everything before
revision X from repository Y...
OTOH, it would certainly be nicer to have a "default" history, where
only people who require another history would need such a config
option. I'm not quite sure what's possible there.

Agreed. However, I'm pretty certain this won't be the last time we
have to "fix" the git repository. Conversion from a bunch of RCS files
is just way too ambiguous.

..and the CVS repository.
