Thanks Ryan. So that can be used to trivially accommodate changed
hashes in a merge-workflow long-lived downstream project (with the
downside that two copies of every commit after the divergence will
appear in vanilla `git log`).

For a rebase-workflow branch `git rebase --onto` can be used to move
commits across a set of changed hashes. For example, assuming we have
a branch with commits on top of on origin/master they can be moved to
origin/svn_head via:

git rebase --onto origin/svn_head origin/master
