Thanks. We will look at it.

The problem is that we want to do two things: convert to git and at
the same time remove certain files from the history, and we don't know
how to do those two in combination (assuming I understand correctly
the latest message from our git master Florian).

Therefore, we will give everyone a chance to merge things that can be
merged now, then do the conversion and file stripping, and after that
the old branches on Launchpad must all be abandonded and opened again
on Bitbucket as fresh new clones.
