I imported the old releases Thomas published on http://lowbyte.de/vga-sync-fields/ and imported them into Git.

What I did was

$ cd /tmp/
$ tar xzfv ~/vga-sync-fields-0.0.x.tgz
$ cd ~/VGA2SCART.src/
$ cp -rp ~/tmp/vga-sync-fields-0.0.x/* .
$ diff -r ~/tmp/vga-sync-fields-0.0.x/ .
$ git add .
$ GIT_AUTHOR_NAME='Thomas Hilber' GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL='sparkie@lowbyte.de' GIT_AUTHOR_DATE='2009-02-10 00:00:00 +0000' git commit -a # Where I used the date in the file HISTORY as the GIT_AUTHOR_DATE
$ git tag v0.0.x

for every release.

I hope this works out and I did not screw anything up and is ok for everyone. If you want to have that different, please leave a note.
