  I tried that a few nights ago... it's not that clean.

  The easiest way is to probably redo the svn import with an
authorfile and replay all of the branch changes with format-patch/am.
filter-branch's most obvious use case ends up being rather hard.

  Rebase is actually really smart about major tree rewrites, of
course, it gets harder with merges and *large* rewrites.

  There's a lot of other stuff to do, of course.

  It'd also be good to have standards on commits before bringing them
into trees.  I've been a little bad about that
