Git tree for old kernels

interest in making a git tree with all of the kernel versions from the

I just put the archive I've gathered so far in a Git tree on kernel.org:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nico/archive.git

It is also available through gitweb from:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/nico/archive.git

It currently stops at Linux v1.0. I would like to continue populating
this archive up to the current "Linux kernel history" Git repository
from Thomas Gleixner which currently doesn't go further back than
v2.4.0. This is however extremely time consuming to track down old
mailing list and newsgroup archives in order to find announcements to
serve as commit log material. Therefore I'd be really glad if people
could help me find those and send me copies of relevant announcements.
The content of the current archive should give a good idea of what I'm
looking for.

Also, the following items are currently missing and apparently vanished
from the surface of the planet:

- v0.02 sources

- v0.03 sources and announcement

- v0.10 announcement

- v0.96 sources

- sources for v0.99.13{abcdefghij} (got k, don't know where the serie
ends) as well as announcements for all of them

- all announcements for v0.99.14{a-z} except for pl14r

- announcements for pl15c to pl15j, 1.0-pre1, and ALPHA-1.0.

If you happen to have any of those please drop me a note.

Otherwise the archive appears fairly complete with almost 3 years of
Linux development history captured in a 3MB pack file.
