download http://nightly.openerp.com/move-branch.zip and run it with python move-branch.zip -h (for the help). It should be able to convert simple-enough branches for you (even if they have merge commits &al)
Extract the branch contents as patches and use git apply or git am to rebuild a branch from them
Replay the branch by hand
