Or they could just clone the git tree, and they can look at per-file logs anytime they want to. I mean, sure, we COULD do this stuff. But, why? It isn't like kernel.org has some tool that lets kernel users generate per-file changelog histories just in case they don't want to use git. If somebody wants to build a tool like this by all means go ahead and do it. I just don't see it as something that should be a migration pre-requisite. That's just my opinion though. -- Rich
