git scares the hell out of me -- git-filter-branch is a tool explicitly created to allow you to *destroy* (not revert) all commits by a single author.
I'm not saying ReactOS is a minefield of bad attitude, but I'm sure we can all think of at least a half-dozen of instances where such a tool would've been used (even by a committer against himself, as was actually done).
With SVN, when the author did that, we were able to undo the damage immediately -- that's the point. Being able to destroy history data like this is just horrible.

Sorry, I meant to say git -- and I think Aleksey understood it as "git" too.
I'm surprised you had import problems -- Hg is widely recognized as having an excellent built-in "converter" for most other repositories.

So true... I'm sick of those fanatics, though recently I see a
decrease of their count, and a fresh view on FOSS world by people
(here in Russia).
Are you talking about Git or Hg now?
