<content type='text'>
convert-objects was needed to convert from an old-style repository,
which hashed the compressed contents and used a different date format.
Such repositories are presumably no longer common and, if such
conversions are necessary, should be done by writing a frontend for
git-fast-import.

Linus, the original author, is OK with moving it to contrib.
