Looking near that commit, I see that it moved the code in question, but it seems the origin was instead this commit: commit 3163821967821518cfa4c4315f775ec5301bb023 Author: Erik Andersen <[email protected]> Date: Sat Jan 15 22:28:50 2000 +0000 Sync up busybox with the latest and greatest. This is not stuff for the Embedix release. -Erik Nothing indicates what the reason was. Looking at that commit, it seems that some of it was from Debian-related work, but debian.org has nada.
