I agree that the concept of non-rewritable history in a given
repository is a good thing. But it should not preclude ability to
export a subset of history (a fully connected component of the
original DAG) as  a separate repository (might be even with a
different project-ID).
If I have a book "History of the World" I should be able to take a
chapter on American History and publish it as a book "History of the
USA".
