Zaki, As you'll see from https://github.com/ingydotnet/inline-c-pm/commits/master?page=5 , Inline::C didn't have its history copied over. You have to look at Inline's history for previous Inline::C history. I think that's a shame, so I'll be making the small extra effort.
If you like, I can spin off PDL::IO::GD as the first one? Can you make / enchant (my new name for that process) a pdl-io-gd repo please? Then I'll fill it with history.

Sure, I'll try my hand at a couple and then take what I learned from those to apply them to the others. I was thinking that starting with PDL::IO::GD might work nicely since that might involve also creating an Alien::GD.
