Considering the age of the project it probably wasn't being managed in git to begin with. I've seen some estimates that Allan started development around 2006.

  Doesn't matter. Git has plugins to pull from other repositories.

    I've never used the git transfer plugins but I've had some past headaches moving to different source control systems. I usually just start a fresh repository with the latest snapshot and keep the old system available if anyone has to really go back that far (in my experience after a few weeks no one really ever has had to do this).

      Weird, what kinds of headaches? So long as the HEAD of the converted repo has the same code as the snapshot, what's the difference? Does the conversion break the new repository somehow? (The only way I can think of that's not a bug is slowdown.)

      The product I'm working on most of the time started 2004 as a CVS repository, then was converted to svn where it spent a lot of time in and hen in 2009 it was converted to git where it lives ever since. I've had no issues during either conversion (aside of mistyping an author name, but filter-branch helped). All branches were successfully transferred. Now I wonder what kind of issues you were having.
