I found a goldmine: the MH 6.8.5 tar ball contains RCS files for
all of the source code. And it contains the sources for all of the
documentation.
I currently have it staged for addition at docs/historical/mh-6.8.5/
Before committing, is there a way to not include the contents of each
file in the nmh-commits message? It's about 20 MB.
I don't think that's possible. But there is code to limit the
number of lines sent out (but it might not work). I guess ... well,
shoot. I'd say just blast away.
Or even better, is there a reasonable way to shove the old histories
into the beginning of the git history? My guess is not, but that would
be really neat.
That would be .... a nasty rebase. And it would probably mess up everyone
with a checked out copy of the tree.
We can certainly put the whole history in the tree, though. Maybe
on a branch, off of the initial revision? And then merge it into
the master branch?
I think you could import it and graft the existing on top.
(Not volunteering though :-)
