That has a risk of inheriting things from old location, and not 
discovering eventual broken or obsolete objects.

What I do is this:

 1) Create a fresh empty git at Alioth using the script at 
    the root of our git dir
 2) Change remote on my local git
 3) git push local git to Alioth git

If you don't want that round-trip across the internet, then consider use 
"git clone --mirror" and closely inspect what the bootstrapping script 
does and replay that on top of the mirrored git.

Vcs-Git need no trailing .git

Oh, interesting.  Is that documented somewhere as a best practice?  I 
would simply leave it to the bootstrapped hook to emit commit traffic 
from a new URL.

Seems fine to me.
