It'd be delightful from a completeness standpoint (and I do love
completeness), but considering it already takes a good 20 minutes to
clone the 2.6 tree over a respectable cable connection, I'd have to
object on the grounds of size. Now, if it was kept off in its own tree
for people who don't mind ravaging kernel.org resources to satisfy their
own curiosity, that's fine too.
git has an extremely effective diffing mechanism. You may surprised at
how little it adds.
For example, git compressed the 2.6GB mozilla cvs tree down to 400MB.
I used to clone trees all the time, but now I'm much better at using
git and I haven't cloned a complete tree from kernel.org in a year.
git remote is a cool feature.
