Well, it's a (partial) recipe for how to fix automake, although I note
that automake.git has not actually been fixed yet. I've asked for more
information on that thread on the rest of the steps used in that recipe
(namely, how to generate the file to feed to git fast-import in the
first place). Then I can probably try to fix automake.git as well as
findutils.git.
