Hi all!

I'm pleased to announce that there's a new branch in the git repository, named 'prehistory', which covers exactly that.  It is connected the the master branch in a backwards-time-travel way, so that the tip of the branch is the oldest man pages that one can find --that is, 1.0--.

This is not a stable branch, and may be rebased in the future to fill gaps (such as man-pages-1.1, which is missing), which is the reason I didn't create tags for the versions.

Anyone curious about the old pages like me, can now use all the power of git(1) for that purpose.  Below you can see a glance of what is now available through git.

To avoid misattributing authorship of changes, I attributed them to time itself.

Cheers,

Alex

P.S.:  Andries, do you know anything about 1.1?  There's the announce in your ftp server, but the tarball is missing.

By ftp server, of course I meant the ftpdocs dir on your website:
