Hi, If anyone is interested, I have put on my website[1] a git repository containing the full history of Linux, from 0.01 to now. It's built from 3 other git repositories: - the one from Dave Jones from 0.01 to 2.4.0, - the one from tglx from 2.4.0 to 2.6.12, - the one from Linus Torvalds from 2.6.12 to now. I used the "graft" feature of git (thanks to Junio and people on #git for the tip) to link them together. I also modified (via a git-filter-branch) the dates of some commits as for instance all commits from the Dave Jones's repo had the same date (23 Nov 2007). For this I mainly used the timestamp info of files on kernel.org. The script and info I used are also available on my website[2]. Note that because I used the graft feature, this repo is really just a superset of the one from Torvalds so you can pull as you would do with the Torvalds repo to get the latest Linux version. The reason why I built this repo is that I wanted to study the history of source code comments in Linux and git annotate could answer most of my questions automatically. For instance I wanted to know what comments were written before 1995 that are still present unmodified in the current Linux version. But for git annotate to work I needed a git repo with the full history of Linux. Other people may find my repo useful for other purpose. [1] full git repo: http://aryx.kicks-ass.org/~pad/linux/full-history-linux.git.tar Then untar it and do a git checkout -f to populate it [2] script to build the git repo from scratch: http://aryx.kicks-ass.org/~pad/linux/make-full-linux-history.tgz Then untar it; make; ./make-full-kernel-history full Note: you will need to install OCaml first. PS: Is there a way to put it on kernel.org? PS2: Some commits have only an approximate date. It was good enough for what I wanted. If you want more precise date, tell me, the script is easy to modify. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
