Tailor is great, but "mitigated" is as far as you can go.  The basic
stuff like branches and committer id is properly moved from one to the
other.  However, you can lose some metadata going from one dvcs to
another if the target doesn't support it.  For example, git supports
both author and committer IDs for each commit, which others don't, and
git has its signed tags.

Dublin Core, anyone?
