 If somebody adds some logic to parse_commit() to do the fake parent

 big tree. Even without that, you can already do things like
 
 git diff v2.6.10..v2.6.12

That's a bit of a hack which really doesn't belong in the git tools.
It's not particularly hard to reparent the tree for real -- I'd much
rather see a tool added to git which can _actually_ change the
1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2 commit to have a parent of
0bcc493c633d78373d3fcf9efc29d6a710637519, and ripple the corresponding
SHA1 changes up to the current HEAD.

Note that the latter commit ID I gave there was actually the 2.6.12-rc2
commit in Thomas' history import, not your own. Thomas has done a lot of
work on it, and it has the full names extracted from the shortlog
script, full timestamps, branch/merge history and consistent character
sets in the commit logs. I'd definitely suggest that you use that
instead of the import from bkcvs.

It'd be great  to have the same thing but for the 1.0 - 2.2 tree. Of course
there are no changelogs for that, but incremental patches are still
available, and it'd be very interesting (for historical reasons) to see how
things were added/removed

Also a really good stress test for the various git-blame/git-annotate
implementations.
