Hi Thomas,
Thanks for the prod.

Here are three scripts:
[definitely not production quality.
 I wanted to clean them up before publishing, but if I wait
 to find time for that, it may never happen, so... ]

git-log-munge: a helper script invoked by glibc-reconstruct-commits

glibc-reconstruct-commits: based on a script by Paolo Bonzini.  I used this
  to aggregate commits on the "master" branch of a
  just-cvs-to-git-converted glibc.git repository.
  However, doing that unhooked all branches and tags from master...

tag-restore: reconnect those branches and tags
  (caveat, note: contains hard-coded paths)
