Well, the commands:

C-u C-c C-c
C-x C-x
C-c *

convert the checkboxes to headings but eliminate the hierarchy.

I've also tried regex-searching for something like "^   - \[ \]" -> "*** 
TODO" but it's not foolproof since the number of leading spaces doesn't 
always have something to do with the level of the previous header.
