I believe I can be of help if you need any.
I've done a lot of very complicated git conversions (including things
like taking memcached git dev and transplanting it above an older subversion
conversion that was discovered later and another that involved merging 24
different git repos that were moving concurrently at the root level into a
single that had 24 subdirectories and linear history) and really got to know
git well along the way.
If there's any hard work to do here, I'm sure I've enjoyed doing it
before.
