No - it even fixed the "hand moved" test I had done trying to create an
Attic with, when trying to figure out how they got that way in the first
place...

What I did when I converted the repo was just hand edit those files to
have a state of "dead" to match their position in Attic for those RCS
revs.  If you "add" them and remove them, I believe my GIT conversion
will actually "follow" that correctly...  If not - I just rm -Rf it and
let it go from scratch "one more time"...  I'm glad computers are good
at that type of repetitive task...
