IMO we shouldn't do anything about this in the context of the git
migration; this issue existed in the CVS repo and exists now in the
SVN repo. A statement like you propose is reasonable, although I'm not
sure where it should be. I suppose we could have a repo history file
to document things like this, the first real SVN commits after the
CVS->SVN conversion, etc.
