I was assuming that, but it's good to have confirmation.  What about
my repo at
http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=users/kgrittn/postgres.git ?
Can that be reset to a copy of the new repo?  (Or is that not really
beneficial?)

Yeah, I'd really rather not lose that.

Perhaps.  I might be able to use grep and sed to script it, though. 
Right now I think I'd be alright to just pick off commits where the
committer was myself or Dan Ports.  My bash-fu is tolerably good for
such purposes.
