Ah yes, that's what I feared. Darn. But still, I think that it would be much better not to put this into Git. We do have diff gitattributes now, so that you can roll your own diff for specific files, but I still think that this is more a task for a standalone perl script. Possibly being called from filter-branch to be done with the conversion once and for all times.
