Hi,

I found myself in need of a git repository that was built up from zip
files supplied by a 3rd party. I knew about
contrib/fast-import/import-zips.py but saw that it hadn't had a lot of
attention in 13 or so years.

I spend a bit of (AI assisted) time on updating things to python3. The
result is https://github.com/cpackham/import-zips.

I started the repository with a filter-repo of the existing
contrib/fast-import/import-zips.py which does lead me to one question
- what license applies? In the absence of anything else I've taken the
COPYING file from git.git i.e. GPL-2.0

I wasn't sure if there would be any interest in taking the changes
back to git.git/contrib (or if the use of AI would rule that out).
Anyway it's there on my github page if anyone else needs it. If
someone wants me to turn the changes into a series for git.git I'm
happy to do that too.

Regards,
Chris
