I thought someone had posted a github project to merge the history of
all publicly available sources of unix.
Ah, yes, here it is
https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo
Maybe that would be easier to follow than dealing with svn...
I'll note that searching the TUHS archives throws all kinds of ugly errors:

Ah, I see you are right :-/ The early commits are not very easy to dig
through because of a combination of broken-up commits and source control
conversion artefacts, and SVN being incredibly slow.

The previous CVS repo from the 386BSD+patchkit
days was hidden away
because of old copyright worries, though some time after 2000 it became
available to most committers. (I have a copy in my home directory on
freefall.freebsd.org which I stashed away in 2007 because at that time I
think there still wasn't a conveniently accessible copy.)
Does that have eg. sys/kern/tty.c in it? Or is also missing piles of files? It looks
like after the uplift to SVN the two repositories were combined,
so you can now see the 386BSD import at
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/commit/f131f027b47937d651804c243cde86ec0…
Not without being butchered first. A lot of essential source files are missing
from the start until they magically appear in the 4.4BSD-Lite upload.
