The existing repo doesn't need to be shut down while the recreation takes place. That can be done offline while the current repo is still up, until a point when the git commits are re-applied (and git here allows easily preserving all the commit's info: authors, dates, etc.). So it seems to me the only downside is requiring people to refetch and rebase. Personally, I think the repo is young enough for that to not be a real problem. I have 180 local branches and with the approach I sent the other day in the "git is live" thread, it just takes me a couple minutes, and the occasional rebase ("git rebase --onto", or if use stgit like me, just plain "stg rebase"). -- Pedro Alves
