[TUHS] Code bloat

[Warner Losh]

I thought someone had posted a github project to merge the history of
all publicly available sources of unix.

https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo

Maybe that would be easier to follow than dealing with svn...

I'll note that searching the TUHS archives throws all kinds of ugly errors:

Failed to seek to properties located at 222966803301099891 for file
