Hi,
I missed this one previously.

The reason why we had decided to leave the history behind was to avoid 
boredom (who cares for the old crap) combined with laziness (we have to 
use the migration tool). But it does make sense to keep everything 
together so we will migrate all the history once SVN lets us in.
