Oops - the git remote for my svn/1.2 source tree was pointing to another
local clone so the handful of changes I'd pushed over the last year or
so weren't in the official repo.

I've fixed that and pushed.  Thanks for spotting this.

That'd probably be better than creating a repo from scratch, though
it'll still change all the commit hashes, which means notes in tickets,
etc about which commit a bug was fixed in are harder to follow.  Not
sure if there are any other drawbacks.
