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.

I don't mean to nit-pick but, would it be possible to have the timestamps
for the commits closer to the release dates?
I must say, impressive work.
Thanks!

Well, the author timestamp already is, based on the date of the
announcement message used for the commit log, including the timezone.
If you find errors in those please tell me.
The commit timestamp, however, is the time when _I_ created the
repository, hence it should not be that interesting.

Thanks!

Ah ok. Too bad gitweb displays the commit times => throws off some of the
sorting too.
/me prods gitweb people

Too bad that's the date you see all over the place :(
