So in fact it might be that what's needed isn't any new documentation on
the available tools with their features and limitations.

I know that when I recently had to deal with a svn tree the hardest part
was figuring out where to start (git-svn?  git-svnimport?).  I seem to
recall threads here suggesting this is a general problem.

One exception--the "series of tarballs" thing--I think it's cool that
you can just unpack a bunch of tarballs and string them together into a
git history.  It gives a good sense of how git works, and I don't think
it's documented explicitly anywhere.  I think that might be kinda fun to
write up.  But I haven't tried.
