It's not just me. AFAIK not a single committer in the xwiki project has ever 
copied the history between our active repositories (except you before this mail 
was voted ;)). We have copied history when we moved to retired or when we moved 
from xwiki-contrib to xwiki but that's normal since in those cases the source 
repo was supposed to be "dead" and I completely agree with this.

Anyway let's try to find an agreement on the other thread.

Thanks
