It's the historical git tree. All the pre-2.6.12 history which was
migrated from bitkeeper.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/old-2.6-bkcvs.git

instructive. For some reason that command generates rather a lot of
unrelated changelog info which needs to be manually skipped over.
