Yes! The `pijul git` command allows you to import Pijul repositories by replaying their history. It also works incrementally, meaning that if you already imported a repository, you'll be able to continue new commits.

This uses a somewhat naive way of doing things, and can take a very long time on large repositories. One other way of doing it would be to add an "initial change" explicitly saying "I'm coming from Git commit number #SHA1HASH".

Thanks! I'll definitely give that a try, just looking at the docs real quick it sounds pretty doable.

I can think of at least twice in the last month that I _think_ this would have saved me some effort, be interesting to give it a go. Cheers!
