Your point about interoperability is an important one, and definitely
a factor in the decision. I think the risk is mitigated by tools
like Tailor,
Tailor is great, but "mitigated" is as far as you can go. The basic stuff like branches and committer id is properly moved from one to the other. However, you can lose some metadata going from one dvcs to another if the target doesn't support it. For example, git supports both author and committer IDs for each commit, which others don't, and git has its signed tags.
Dublin Core, anyone?
