First question should be whether it's worth doing even if someone is
willing to do it. Of course it's nice if you're willing to work on the
history, but if that means you're not willing to have the repo up until
a day or more later then I think it is a net loss.

What other bugs besides bad flags for the files?

Is there any need to examine mailing list archives as long as renames
are ignored?
