Yes, I was also thinking that grafting the historical git repo would be a good idea.
And perhaps presenting the graph as a stacked graph, with older kernels lower down. This would make it easy to say "40% of the code is older than 2.6.24", for example.

I would actually like to know what the oldest line/code in the kernel is. :-)

I'm not 100% sure if there are full records back to 0.00 days, but I'm sure somewhere out there there are tarballs of a lot of old releases which could be imported.
It would make a heck of an experiment, building a *complete* git repo.
