I think you're right.  Our goal was to remove ORGWEBPAGES/ into a new
repo with a proper history of its own.  As Jason did that with success,
I asked him to do the filtering for org-mode.git too -- which might be
too much (my bad).

Jason, Carsten, what is your take on this?

Which is more in the spirit of what git allows: keep the revision
history as *truthful* as possible.

I'm for the direction you suggest -- I let Jason and Carsten tell me
what they think before deciding.

Thanks for voicing this in time!
