Well, it seems that wasn't too much of a problem, at least the import
has history from before the gideon import.

Well, as it turns out the history is rather complicated... The moves of
3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 during the KDE 3.5 lifetime make things relatively
complicated. Additionally the tags need to be done manually too.

That leads me to the question: Is it worth it? Most of the history
interesting to us is the KDevelop4 history which afaik has no roots back
to the kdevelop3 codebase. So we could just drop the kde3 and older
branches when moving to git proper and import the kde3-and-older stuff
without further work into a kdevelop-legacy git module. Thoughts?
