For my use case, where I just need to attach another branch in
time without altering original commits in any way, `reposurgeon`
can not be used.

What do you mean by "attach another branch in time"? Because if you
really do not want to alter original commits in any way, perhaps you
only want `git fetch /the/other/repository master:the-other-one-s-master`?

Yeah, I had the same impression.  If a bit-for-bit identical copy of
the original history is needed, then fetching from the original
repository (either directly or via a bundle) would be a much simpler
and performant way.

Thanks.
