Indeed. On the 13th of May, Miles imported just the current state and
none of the history in the multi-tty arch repository into his arch
repository.
We could presumably fix this in git by importing the upstream
multi-tty arch repository into git as a separate branch starting from
the branch-off point of multi-tty, then make this the branch parent
rather than Miles import. Something like that.
git is pretty good at mangling history after the fact. Whether we
have a reasonable chance to get this sort of thing done in the CVS or
arch repositories is a different question. Probably not.
