If there is not already a policy in place to prevent history rewriting in public branches, we should have one. And if there's a GitHub mechanism for denying the privilege, it should be enabled.
As I've said on Boost.Build mailing list, such a policy or mechanism shall only be in effect after everybody reviews results of the conversion for real, and is happy with them. The conversion was, to a degree, rushed, so we need a time to fix issues before we declare we're really done with the transition to git and start playing by git rules.
I think we also need to point predef and odeint's master and develop branches at completely different branches in order to import their git repositories. I don't think they should be required to merge in the history converted from subversion.
