In my opinion, it is nice to have the history, although maybe not
critical. As an example, I cloned Phil Kern's ca-certificates
repository that had imported older versions that he started with. Then
I imported all the intermediate versions to get it current with a good
starting point that had some history.

It does take a little time, but the history may be valuable at some
point. Commit times of the imports don't really matter.
