I don't know how to do this either -- from what I can tell you will
have to rewrite history in some way (e.g. export+import).

On that topic, will the history of the "default" branch never be
rewritten (no rebase, etc.)?  If so, I will merge the MacVim branch
against the default branch (and probably keep a topic branch that
merges against vim73).
