The point of my idea is to convert only part of history. It doesn't
need to be all the modules in one repository.
Ok, split it up. No problem.
Someone in the list said that his conversion from kdebase and kdelibs
gets 700 MB for each module. I think that it is too huge to get only
to do some hacks and the most of the history will be unnecessary to
the most of developers anyway.
