since project inception - we're still using CVS, and the whole thing
can be browsed at anoncvs.netbsd.org. A bunch of stuff is now "in the
attic" (nominally "deleted" from the repository, but so far as I know
that just means it's not fetched by default with an unadorned "get"
command - it's still in the repository archive).
The history you're looking to collect is available for copy any time.
There is a pile of "revision #.# intentionally removed" in there. See

for Hannum's story behind it.
Deadly quote "and nobody cares about that early code history any more
--so this is all water under the bridge."
They are available in a manilla folder through a coughing man in a
raincoat if you know in which parking garage you have to look. Not
sure what the consequences are if they appear as a pull request for
dspinellis's truly awesome unix-history-repo.
