Yes, but that's orthogonal to whether to separate the imported history from the pure history? (Not that I'd want to force it upon you. If you have a lot of nested repositories, the grafting can get a bit obnoxious if you don't automate it well, I suppose.)

You could rebase these to the new initial commit. But if you already use Git intensively and rewriting history would create big headache for you at this point already, it's too late, I guess.
