[ shrug... ] You need to take the long view here. We're not working on
the assumption that git is the last SCM this project will ever use.
Even granting that it is, I don't think git hashes are adequately stable;
loading the code into a different repository would likely result in new
hashes. And AFAIK there is no mechanism that would fix hash references
embedded in commit log messages (or the code).
