It is not possible to change history in git without changing the commit
hashes. (so a "graft" is impossible without rebasing)

I tried to figure out how to solve this, but ran out of time. Adding the
(somewhat mangled) bk history now doesn't have any disadvantages and
still allows to find ot where the files come from. If someone figures
out how to do a better conversion, we can still rebase, it that is
desired.
