There's another issue which is that of the $Id$ and similar tags. We
have to decide what we want to do with them. If we're not going to have
them in the Git repository, then they are only causing trouble right now
and it would be better to get rid of them completely for the conversion,
to avoid the noise that they will invariably cause.

We could, for example, say that a conversion process is supposed to
un-expand them (say sed -e 's/$Revision:[^$]*$/$Revision$/' and so on;
obviously it's a lot more complex for $Log$) *before* attempting to
analyze any revision. I think that would make further munging a lot
simpler.
