My understanding and my explanation were likely lacking. :-)

There's a truly huge commit in my repo at:

commit 6c79ce53bd3dd15b60e51262fd02109c172d5bfa
Author: dgollub <dgollub@53f5c7ee-bee3-0310-bbc5-ea0e15fffd5e>

    Moved dev-branch to trunk...
    Time to work on 0.30 ;)

This is the commit where the history of many files suddenly "ends".
But it seems to me that there should be history for some of those
files from before that.

I'm assuming that "dev-branch" is where this work occurred, and it
was all merged in at once, and so some of these files appear suddenly,
"fully formed".

I'm not sure if it is worth trying to extract that dev-branch from SVN,
since we can have an old read-only SVN repo for historical reference
even after the move to git.

But even so, it might be interesting to do just a git-svn clone of
the dev-branch only, and then add that as a historical git branch
for reference.
