Dear diary, on Thu, Sep 14, 2006 at 05:38:29PM CEST, I got a letter
where Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> said that...

Because at the early times of Git, things were evolving fast and it
would be unfeasible to have to drag this old history around in case of
format changes and stuff. Also, at that time history was still very big
and it would be impractical to require all the kernel developers to grab
all the bitkeeper history (it still kind of is).

may be useful.
It wasn't accepted. Oh well, I may try to resubmit it again soon. :-)
