I used Pauli's work on numpy as a template to convert the mpl tell, and I am
fairly confident that the history was correctly transferred. svn2git seems
to have improved since numpy made the leap, and appears to have handled the
merge of the transforms branch correctly, which may have been a considerable
stress-test for the conversion routines.
That said, I would be more comfortable saying "lets do this" if I heard from
more of the debate that the drop looks ok.
