Subject: [PATCH v3 12/15] scripts: kernel-doc: Archive the pre-git museum

Jonathan Corbet suggested in a reply to my version 1, that these records
can go, since that's what the git log is for. I don't agree.

The log begins at 1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2. That's from
2005. One of those entries is indeed logged, so kudos for having me check
this. But not the older ones. Of course they can be found indirectly,
but then...

Why not just let them embellish the script tail?

As you can see, they don't even require any formatting there.

Are you sure you don't want them?

* Transform documentation into POD (12/15)
See step 1 for the series details.
