It would result in a massive merge commit and the duplication of the
entire history. The correct solution is probably to (a) install
Andrew's fixed version of the import tool on the server and (b) rewind
the history on the server so it reimports all the subsequent commits.
Sometimes doing only (b) is sufficient to correct the problem, since
the tool seems rather sensitive to ephemeral states of the
respository.
Unfortunately, (a) has not happened. Magnus seems to feel that Andrew
has not provided sufficient details about which version he should be
running and whether it will likely break anything, and I gather that
Andrew feels otherwise. Figuring out who is right and who is wrong
and what to do about it is above my pay grade, but it would be really
nice if someone could get this straightened out.
