Fantastic!  Thank you!

Sure thing.  I tarred up my work and put it on people.debian.org:
file ~smr/convert-to-git-for-salsa.tar.gz

I used svn2git with an authors file, following the "cut over migration" described
here: https://salsa.debian.org/help/user/project/import/svn

That document is literally the only thing I know about the process, so I would
not be surprised if I goofed something up.  Also: I would not be at all unhappy
if someone else did the migration and import :-)

Regards,
