Yes, this didn't show up in the initial tests but I found and fixed
it over the weekend. Its a dirty, but working hack ...

They are, as part of the git commit message.

We tried with svndumpfilter but failed. Daniel might still have a link with
the explanation of what went wrong.

from the same problem we had with svndumpfilter: rinse and repeat -
you have to manually collect all missing links, which are plenty for
some YaST modules.
