In order to preserve file history portmgr@ encourages to use repocopy.
This commit tried to switch to granular history only to be blocked by
pre-commit hook requesting to squash into a blob. It may have been
possible to losslessly merge thunderbird/files and firefox-esr/files
histories but this isn't documented in Committer's Guide and is likely
to result in mergeinfo contamination on /head branch.

Anyway, Subversion metadata is hard. I should probably stop venturing
out of my Git workflow as it takes too much time to resolve.
