It is easy enought to split a commit, but then history from there to
present will be rewritten. No commit ids will be the same f.ex. This
makes git svn fail. (And I am using git svn to have a countinously
updated tree).

gitglossary - grafts:

        Grafts enables two otherwise different lines of development to be
        joined together by recording fake ancestry information for commits.
        This way you can make git pretend the set of parents a commit has
        is different from what was recorded when the commit was created.
        Configured via the .git/info/grafts file.

I use this to make the tag be on the correct branch, and not on a "svn
tag branch".
