Of course, because I need this elsewhere, I think it would be pretty
great if we started a new repository conversion script that makes it
really easy to plug in modifying things. E.g. abstract out the loop of
extract ctx, commit ctx and allow for passing in a callback that
maims/modifies/improves the ctx.
