	I'm well aware of this, my question was rather one of
applicability.  First, do we want it to work this way, losing the
history.  Second, you'd like the process to be all encompasing if you go
this route.

    ((cd old-repo && cg-diff -r from) | patch -p1) && cg-commit

or any equivalent.  Why should I have to muck with patch and diff, when
I can have a 'pull-as-one' operation.  Sure, it's a wrapper, but if its
the intended mode of development, let's make it a first-class citizen.
