What I've been doing is:
In my old gdb.git, look at a branch I want to preserve.
Find the branchpoint of the branch.
Then, find the corresponding commit in the new repository and make a
branch rooted there. Check out this branch.
In the old repository:
git format-patch -k --stdout BRANCH-POINT..BRANCH-NAME > /tmp/P
In the new repository:
git am -k < /tmp/P
Then I push the new branch to my gitorious repository.
So far that's worked quite nicely.
