There's at least: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git This has trees all the way back to 2.5.0. and Linus also has: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/old-2.6-bkcvs.git for the BK history. That's already more history than most people have any immediate use for, going beyond that starts getting in to general completeness before practical application territory. Anyone still sending 2.4 patches with the intent of them being moved forward and applied to a current kernel needs to be killfiled.
