Yours was the closest in functionality, yes.

git-weave can *weave* (import) a sequence with merge commits, as your
tool can. What it can't do is unravel a nonlinear repo into a tree
sequence that will round-trip through the weave operation. (Though I
thought of a way I might be able to fix that last night.)

The support is there. I will take this as direction to (a) add a
test load demonstrating this, and (b) include the removal of
import-directories.perl in my integration patch.
