So a full history import MAY have negligible marginal impact over a
squashed import (.git is compressed).
that might be the case.
but the point remains that the history that didn't exist along the
merged mainline would live elsewhere (unless we'd import all branches
and tags as well - we actually did that in qt creator, and it looks
kinda weird and confusing).

Personally I'm always frustrated when I hit a dead end during git

Even if the original repo will be kept around, it's an added
obstacle.
a rather small obstacle, given that we have a git-qt-grafts script that
pretty much completely automates the process (it would actually need a
bit of a revamp by now).
And at some point, I'm sure it will no longer be available.
we keep around all repos. the remote may just need an adjustment to
point to {graveyard}/.
(speaking of which, it might be actually time to do that with qt.git,
rather than only renaming it.)
