I've written the code to graft all branches back on to the
aggregated-commit trunk, and to make the grafts permanent --
then tested it using contrived (and small) repositories.

The converter is now processing glibc.git for the 2nd time this evening.
By the time it finishes, I hope to be sleeping.  I will check the
result about 8 hours later when I start Friday.

The only disadvantage with the new grafting procedure is that any tag
that points to a commit on a branch will be lost, but I don't think there
are any of those.  Even if there are, I'll bet it doesn't matter.
