  by the way, this script goes back to very ancient Git times, maybe by
now git-fetch could be convinced to do all the hard work for you.
Actually, maybe just something (totally untested) like

	git remote add -f historical {http,git}://historical_repository_url
	cat <<EOF >>.git/info/grafts
	... the graft specs go here ...
	EOF

might work prefectly fine nowadays that git keeps the remote refs in a separate namespace tidily. This way you don't have to care about all the manual wgetting, ls-remote magic etc. The downside is that this is available only since git-1.5.0 (Debian stable has older version; maybe even newer git version is required, I'm not sure).
