Thanks for the feedback. I am a bit concerned about how long a conversion might take as the transactions repo with all history is presumably fairly large. That, coupled with your observation about different committer names makes me fairly worried that such an endeavour may be a timesink....
Not really, you just set it running and leave it for a few hours to see if you have identified all named committers. Once you know all the name mappings are valid you can freeze the TS repo, run the convert for real, upload to git and unfreeze relative to the git master. It might take up to half a day to do the switcheroo but you should not have to freeze for more than that.
