I have written a script (actually a leftover from the mm-to-BK import
days) that pulls -mm into git as individual commits.

Andrew: Could you prefix the patches you pull from git with this
line:

GIT SHA1-of-their-top-commit URL-of-their-archive

so that I can annotate the commits with an appropriate second parent?

If you never do any changes oon top of -mm, but only merge with it (or
them), then this works out quite well.
