*shrug* It worked for me? I posted a link to the script it came from,
you could ping that guy or tweak his script to do what you want.

My general response to git trees is to convert them to mercurial because
git's UI is utterly horrible, and its infrastructure overcomplicated.
That said, it's what the kernel uses, so it's ubiquitous.

I got pointed at another full history git repo earlier today, maybe
it'll work better for you? Haven't tried it myself, I'm pretty happy
with the one I posted.
