If you'll remove the subrepos, the best thing would be to rewrite the
history on those subrepos just moving all the path to the
corresponding subfolder (with git-filter-branch, and you have exactly
what you need at the end of the example section in the manpage). And
then just do a normal merge. Or, even, you could try to create a
project with everything there in the correct order and location, I
don't know if git-filter-branch or git-fast-import/export (you have
some examples in git.git in contrib/fast-import) can do it, but if you
get it, please, post it here because it can be useful for others).
