We are an Open Source project and for IP issues it is important to be able to see where contributions to our code base came from. Maybe the history is not helpful in all cases, but it is still nice to have it. Anyway, even if we remove folders from one of the other repositories the history there will remain forever. In the case it has to be accessed it will be there. Jörn
