I've just looked at this now. I'm disappointed that the history is lost.
Can we instead base this tree from mysql-5.7's tree - just strip out
everything not wanted in a branch, and refactor the remaining into a
mysql-common? Then "git blame" etc will still work.

Second, can we start keeping things in a single git repo rather than
creating yet another one? How about we continue to use mysql-5.7 but
have a "common" branch? Then eventually perhaps we can move mariadb into
the same git tree too.
