Yes.  In essence I want to move the spatial dimension (directories) into git's 
time dimension (branches).

I will have a look at cg-admin-rewritehist.  After Andy pointed out that they 
were just like traditional svn branches, I'm having good luck using multiple 
runs of git-svn to track each directory as if it were a separate branch.

Thank you for the offer of a script, but don't go to any trouble to find it 
just yet.  I think I have it licked now.
