Normally the git history would be in Fedora's dist-git (which you can clone with `fedpkg clone nodejs`), but the 8.x parts aren't yet pushed to the Fedora master branch. Zuzana, what's the timeframe on that? Now that the Change is approved by FESCo, we should announce the plan to upgrade Rawhide and get it going.
