Before anybody bangs their head against the wall too much I did end up
having syncing issues with this.  I suspect the fix is a one-liner,
but which one-liner has defied a fair bit of messing around with it.

In general the git authors aren't really big on supporting this sort
of thing, so it is just a big hack.  Doing a local sync to discard
history might be an option.  Just deleting the repo and re-syncing is
another option.

But, if somebody comes up with a good fix I'm all ears.
