I am not surprised that changelogs do not mention when "quit" was

You could look at git and/or cvs history/blame to see when commands &
options were added.

Most of the things you ask about are SO OLD it will take some digging
through renames and moves.

Do you really need to know if "xfs_check" was added in 1994, or 1995, for
example? :)

This strikes me as a bit of an odd question; what is your motivation here?
