Tried to understand the history of this code however the first commit is:

commit c1b79eb035fa158fb2ac3bc8e559809611070016
Author: Yaniv Kamay <ykamay@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Sat Sep 19 21:25:46 2009 +0300

    fresh start

so the former history is not in this repository. Does somebody know where
to find the former repository?
