Yea, well, some of our history messages are downright messy and/or
contain information we don't want to disclose to the public. Its
apparently "normal" for Google to just drop history when it opens
a code base. :-\
The repo and Gerrit histories are short enough that I might
be able to go through them and clean them up some (remove any
comments revealing Google secrets) and publish the history under a
different repository. Folks can always graft it behind the (now)
real repository.
I can't promise anything, but I'll talk to my co-contributors and
consider doing this in the near future.
