Who wrote this piece of junk code? ... git blame ... oh ...

  But seriously. I have seen many places just move the files from their old vcs and into git. It is wrong to say you loose the history; you just have to go into old system to access it. Also sometimes; you change from a monorepo approach to a repository pr. project approach and you want to tidy up in dead projects and irrelevant history while you do that.

    Git importation tools are perfectly well equipped to preserve the code deltas in individual commits. Some metadata might get dropped, but you can and should have your commit history.
