It's not important right now since the ExternalLibraries won't be transitioning yet, but while I think of it, it would be possible to maintain the history rather than creating the repository from scratch.
I am sure it can be done. The question here is whether it is worth it. I don't think the history of these repositories is really worth transitioning - the svn repositories will stay around anyway.
included but instead fetched on demand, then the large history-of-tarballs repository would only have to be fetched when checking out an old version of the external library.
Which would mean git would need to be installed wherever you compile Cactus. We cannot assume that, and I don't really want to build git first.
