I ended up making a script that converted a description file that
described the hierarchy of versions and generated a fast-import file
from it. Good to have so that I could move stuff around a bit to make
up a version tree that looked somewhat reasonable (a lot of
cross-directory copying has been going on here, and no-one knows which
version is which).

I will try to make the script available.
