Isn't that what legal would prefer as well? (That you can't see any
history of a file from before it hit the open tree.)
It depends. A file can be moved from closed->src for a few reasons. We
can move history as long as the history is okay. Ex: a driver that had
never undergone review, and has now finally been cleared can keep its
history. Or if Sun signs a new contract with a company that allows us
to open source the driver, for example.
If, on the other hand, the driver is reengineered without the
encumbering code, then we want to make sure we don't carry the history
forward since the code delta will have the offending code.
