+ <p>As part of my <a href=
+ "http://invisible-island.net/personal/git-exports.html";><em>Git
+ exports</em></a> work in 2016, I made a repository of the
+ major X release copies of <a href=
+ "https://github.com/ThomasDickey/old-xterm";>xterm source</a>.
+ Alan Coopersmith has a more extensive repository of the
+ <a href=
+ "https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~alanc/xc-historical/log/";>X
+ source</a>, which is also useful although it does not cover
+ the full timespan. In my repository, I combined the
+ controls-sequences document which was in <em>specs</em> with
+ the program:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>xterm was first released in X10R3, with a manual page
+ in the <code>man</code> directory, and program in the
+ <code>xterm</code> directory.</li>
+
+ <li>The developers (re)organized the directory tree in X11,
+ moving some manual pages under the <code>doc</code> tree,
+ others went along with the source-code, and moving the
+ programs such as xterm under a <code>clients</code>
+ directory.</li>
+
+ <li>The control-sequences document was first released in
+ X11R4.</li>
+
+ <li>When making the repository, I overlooked the X10 manual
+ page. Git isn't flexible enough to add that later, without
+ re-creating the repository.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>I use RCS as a starting point for creating Git
+ repositories because it is the simplest way to capture each
+ file's timestamp. Since the X developers switched source
+ repositories between X10 and X11, and the RCS identifiers
+ were no longer in sequence, I used a script to change those
+ identifiers to a form that would not interfere with checking
+ the sources into RCS.</p>
+
