If you insert the new 1.0 code into the tree, that will change all the
commit IDs downstream of it (i.e. everything we're actively working on
now). So I'd add 1.0 by itself in its own root. So 1.1 wouldn't be a
child of 1.0, but since this is all for historical archiving, that
doesn't really matter.

You can do this by

- Creating a brand-new repo (let's say in /tmp/gnuplot1), and adding the
  gnuplot 1.0 code and the "1.0" tag there

- In your main gnuplot tree, add this as a remote

  git remote add gnuplot1 /tmp/gnuplot1
  git fetch gnuplot1

Now the "1.0" tag has been ingested into your tree, and if you "git push
--tags", you'll send all your tags (including this one) to sourceforge.
That's it.

To make it easier, I made the gnuplot1 repo, and pushed it here:

  https://github.com/dkogan/gnuplot1.git

so all you need to do is

- git remote add gnuplot1 https://github.com/dkogan/gnuplot1.git
- git fetch gnuplot1

That's it
