You can maybe do it like this:

1) Write matplotlib.rules so that all of the directories where basemap 
stuff has been ends in the basemap repository. (I'm assuming this does 
not error out...)

2) This will create a number of separate heads in the basemap repo that 
do not share common history.

3) Add graft rules in matplotlib.grafts to stitch the disconnected 
history graphs together.

This happened also with Numpy: part of the old history had a this sort of 
a rename and so part of the history was not connected to the main graph. 
So I just stitched the graphs together manually.
