No history in the tree, just a simple way to quickly fetch and select a copy of all the various old releases. I know they are all available ftp, git tree would organize them all in one place and let you fetch them all at once. If this is small enough you could add it to the current kernel tree. Git's super diffing performance might make this fairly small. My dream system lets me checkout an ancient version, apply the diff from the vendor (or expand a tarball), use git status to see what files changed, and git diff to get detailed changes (all minus CVS keyword expansion noise). Major bonus points if it can detect detect a subsystem that has been backported. -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@gmail.com
