  Maybe.  I've been wondering if it's possible to just pass along the manifest 
and changelog instead of recalculating it.  It seems there have been other 
issues over the years[1].  @yuja fixed something manifest related around the 
time of that thread IIRC.  Even if a filemap is in use, the map may not modify 
early commits.  And when those are changed unexpectedly, it makes me wonder 
what got lost/mangled.  I looked through the repos I converted last year 
without any file mapping, and there were manifest node changes, but also 
differences in `files` and `files+` in the changelog.

not the identity: 12-- and -1--, so cases where a file is absent in p1, that p2 
added or modified, and the merge redeletes the file. Commit shows such files 
are modified (rightly) but convert doesn't)
  
  Is that a non-tracked test?  Can you throw a patch up somewhere showing this? 
 One of the things I noticed last year was that I'd get better results if 
`cleanp2`[2] was forced to be empty.  I was unable to come up with a simple 
test case showing a different hash with shipping code and a forcibly emptied 
`cleanp2`, circa 4.6.  What you're describing seems to be the opposite of

but something is wrong with that calculation, so maybe it's worth a try.
