Typically, there are lots of warnings of changing the history of Git repositories after they were already pushed to the public, but I think that this is one of the typical exceptions from this rule.
After starting with FreeRails I learned a lot about converting CVS and SVN repositories to Git and about using advanced Git history editing commands like git replace or git filter-branch. Therefore I could really include the history of the FreeRails 1&2&3 and Railz 1&2 projects in a single Git repository.
On the other hand, although there are three forks on Github, there has not been done any work on them yet. The chances that somebody did do something and gets into trouble now is rather very slim. However, in this case, I'd be happy to assist. Nothing is lost. It's just a matter of chaining sufficiently many git commands.
