I have no idea why bike sheds should be painted red (though this does
sound very vaguely familiar).  I did get a chance to try out
cg-admin-rewritehist last night, and it worked like a charm.  Even got
rid of my graft point (my project has previously lived in RCS, CVS,
and Subversion).

Anyway, it'd definitely be useful, I think, especially as a means to
unroll newby mistakes such as mine.

In related news: there is really no question that bike sheds should be
painted red. Really.
