I think we need to figure out these details and more or less agree on
them, before converting the repository (if needed).  The worst thing
that can happen is to invest all that effort, only to find out later
that adding more "fixes bug NNN" commits don't work well, or that
there's a much more easy/elegant way of doing that.
