It probably isn't.

We possibly could if we really need it. I advise against it, though.
Not all files will just be copied, but have parts reassembled.

We will not loose the history.
When importing a file you should note where it was taken from
in the grass5 tree.

It is my experience that after a major revision
detailed information about each revision is wanted in rare cases.
It will be feasble to ask the grass5 tree about it then.
