Here is David@Infra's note about the missing history in the flex-utilities
git repo.

I think we should accept the repo as it is and move ahead.  Any objections?

We can go back to SVN for any history that is missing.  I doubt we would
need that because it was the early days of the  Installer project and I am
pretty sure that there is anything mission critical there.

Thanks,
Om

-------------------------------------

Okay folks:

I tried running through utilities 2 more times - came up with the same
result.

Here's the issue - because there are differences in how git and svn handle
branches and tags, when we look to convert a SVN tree we have to specify a
layout. (e.g. where tags, branches and trunk, live in the tree)

The problem is that on August 15 the tree layout was changed [1], which is
the expected layout - so prior to that layout existing, in the eyes of the
migration process nothing existed in that repo. In short - that layout
change essentially (from a git perspective.) restarted history.

(BTW - Paul Davis provided the sanity to catch this problem, many thanks
for that.)

Let me know how you want to proceed with this.
