I can't remember the name, but i played around previously with a software project that read in mediawiki XML dumps and converted them to a format usable by git-fast-import. A quick google turned up levitation[1] which seems to be a similar concept, but not the same one i used before

If you could dig up more details on that project I'd be very interested! Those who don't learn from history, etc. I'd love to read through the code and see what was done. It would be relevant to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T113004 --scott
