In this vein, is it possible to get the development history of the NS  
port merged with the other Emacs history?
I mean, everything begins (ends) with the merge, with all code there  
appearing to have been authored by 'arobert'.  In this particular case  
I would have wanted to know when these lines of code were added (e.g.,  
pre-22?), and what the comments were.
I could probably try to find this in Emacs.app, but I'm wondering if  
we can have this history (perhaps in a separate branch) in the Bzr/Git  
repositories.
