Right.  The idea would be that once the code passes the parallel IP
process and is blessed for distribution, we would simply pull the
commits into the final repository.

So the history would be the same history.  Unless we had to do
a yet another rewrite because of an unexpected issue discovered
during the parallel IP review process.

Well, its very likely that the current parellelip-*.git repositories
will simply be merged over into the normal git repositories once we
finish the IP review.  Which means the history would be the same,
and you only would need to add a new URL to your existing repository.

I'm not expecting to do another history rewrite.
