Yes. In essence I want to move the spatial dimension (directories) into git's
time dimension (branches).

I will have a look at cg-admin-rewritehist. After Andy pointed out that they
were just like traditional svn branches, I'm having good luck using multiple
runs of git-svn to track each directory as if it were a separate branch.
Thank you for the offer of a script, but don't go to any trouble to find it
