Wow, I've never even heard of StarTeam. AFAIK, there is no converter already (as in, I have never heard of one, and searching the list archive turns up nothing).

Getting history data into git is usually easy. If you can generate a series of snapshots, at worst you can script around commiting each one. Or you can write to the "git fast-import" input language, which is, well...fast.

The tricky part will be getting your data out of StarTeam, which is apparently not very easy:
