So the only one I was involved in was the CVS hack to

my SCM system, BitKeeper, but there were people who didn't like the
license. We built an exporter that exported the history to CVS (it
was a pretty nice exporter, on a per file basis it would find the
longest path through a DAG and export that since CVS was straight
line, not a DAG.)
Personally I believe it would make a fine historical article for the next issue (17 is out
now with 34C3).
Would you be willing to write it up? With enough articles we might even pull a “history
issue”!
