In this thread we're just talking about migrating an existing conversion of
lp:mixxx (e.g. http://github.com/xdg/mixxx) so I didn't have to use
git-bzr-ng. I just used the git-filter-branch command to rewrite history.
I'm assuming this would be a one-time conversion for whoever is migrating
their previously-converted repo.

Good point -- there are commands you can run to look at the orphaned leaves
to make sure we're not losing anything we care about.
