Yep, this is a correct assumption. Just because it's possible to merge
unrelated repositories doesn't mean it's a great idea and I frankly
regret having done it for hgk. I think it would be better to instead to
keep a separate repo for archaeological purposes.

That said, I absolutely DO want to credit everyone who's contributed in
the final merged source.
