there is a historical git archive that can be grafted onto the current 2.6.12 archive.
once this is done the combined archive can be treated as a single archive and I expect that the scripts used for this report could be used as-is (although it will obviously take longer)
IIRC, the historical git archive goes all the way back to the 0.0x days (although not without gaps)

FWIW, I've got a slightly more complete tree (several versions missed by davej added to his) plus the CVS-exported 2.4 BK tree; need to convert the latter to git, then we'll get full tree with all branches (right now there's stuff up to 2.4.0 + 2.4.0--2.6.12 + 2.4.31--2.4.current + 2.6.12--2.6-current, with gap between 2.4.15 and 2.4.31).

Is your tree online? How does this compare to http://lwn.net/Articles/285366/ ?
I contacted the original author about 3 months ago and built a tree using his ocaml program. It seems to gather data from dave, tglx and linus' tree.
If anyone is interested, I can forward the ~210k archive of the program building the tree.
