CVS should have older but that can be hard to work with

If it's ok with you to use old fedora src.rpms, try:

http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/xfsprogs

which goes back to 2.8.11 in Apr. 2007.

Ah I just found:

ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/previous/cmd_tars/xfsprogs-2.7.11.src.tar.gz

as well.

I really think any serious user of xfs will not be using
tools which are more than 5 years old, so if these versions satisfy
your requirements, I wouldn't worry too much about whether older
versions do as well...
