Hopefully, at least. But with a re-export you would have to re-import any changes already made afterwards. And you would have have to re-validate everything again since it would be a new import from scratch. So it seems like a worse way to do it.
Maybe.
Of course, you could do both and verify that you actually do get the same end result (which should only amount to comparing the SHA:s of the heads and tags)...
True.
Before we do anything about it, I'd like to know if there are any other known conversion bugs with the Pike git repository than:
* The TZ offsets are three decimals when they should be four. - git-fsck complains about ~ all commits. - Some third party git tools may get confused.
* The automatically generated .gitignore files contain extraneous whitespace at EOL in some cases. - Files that are supposed to be ignored by git aren't.
In particular, do any of the email addresses or author names need to be adjusted?
