No problem!  The repo at git://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/sysvinit
now contains the fixed branches and tags.  I've retagged everything,
and verified that all the tags match the SVN repo contents exactly,
using the same script as last time.  Only the master and etchnhalf
branches required filter-branch, the others all have a branch point
prior to the fixed commit, so were not affected.  The master and
etchnhalf branches are also identical to SVN after the filtering.

The only difference between the git and svn repos is that because the
svn2git conversion changes svn tags (branches) to git heads, which
were then converted to git tags, the git tag timestamp is the time of
the git commit being tagged, rather than the timestamp of the original
tag operation (the tag time being lost during the svn2git step).  In
practice this isn't particularly important, and the tags could be
manually re-tagged using the exact tag timestamps if this is an issue.
This doesn't affect the contents in any way, and since the tags were
created immediately after the commit being, it really just means the
timestamp is slightly ahead of the old tag timestamp by a few
seconds/minutes.

So the repo should be good to go, though it wouldn't hurt to be
checked for correctness by someone else in case I missed anything.


Regards,
Roger
