If I understood you correctly, you want to exclude foo/bar/Attic during the 
conversion, but not foo/bar.

Why would you want to do that? Files in Attic are files which were living 
under foo/bar and have been removed at some point of time in the past.

After conversion you should not get any Attic directories in the git 
repository, just foo/bar. But if you go back in time and check out (with git 
using the result of the conversion) a version where a file found in Attic was 
not yet removed, it should be checked out to foo/bar.

HTH,
Markus
