There's actually an importer for this; if you can put all of the old 
versions into tar files in the same format and list them in order, you can 
use "import-tars.perl", which is in contrib/fast-import in the git source 
tree. Of course, using that won't teach you anything about the tools, but 
it might be the best way to get the real import done with the least chance 
of mistakes.
