Hello, I have two trees: blastwave and blastwave.old. blastwave.old is the BitKeeper -> CVS -> GIT Tree of the project and blastwave is the newer one that I started when I stoped using bitkeeper. What I want is to append the history of blastwave to blastwave.old. The problem is that I need to create new commit objects for every commit I want to append to the old history. Is there a script which does that for me? Or do I have to write this script myself?
