It's still there. That's a relief. But even if we still have the old Bzr and CVS repos, the info from them won't appear when you loook at the program's current Git repo. So it is a good thing that we have the change log files from that era, in the Git repo. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (https://gnu.org, https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
