Yes. These branches did actually exist back in the cvs repos. I don't
think any of these are important.

Why is that a problem? Does the conversion choke if commits do multiple
things at once?

I agree. We would very likely be better off without them.

I didn't mean that other arrangements are "badly behaved". I called
CactusBase "well behaved" because it did not receive as many commits
from not as many authors and some of the others probably did.
EinsteinInitial, or GRHydro would be more "demanding" examples.
