bzr

I am planning to do two things on several large (several gigs) and old (several years) repositories:

Move from bzr to git without losing the commit history.
Restructure all the repositories either using bzr or git. This will involve moving files/directories from one repository to another with its change history.

Doing both at once would be foolish (I think!) but I am not sure which one should be done first. Any suggestions?

Anything I should watch out for when migrating/restructuring?
