   So in fact we can't do this... because graft points are not part of
the clonable data (needs to be done manually on the client-side).

  What I propose as an intermediate solution for this (and so we can
actually get to *using* the repositories) is to push the
non-malaxed/non-cleaned-up raw converted repositories (which I have)
into /git/gstreamer/historical/*.git

  That way people can have a non-encumbered version of the repositories.

  Does that suit everybody ?
