We need help building a more complete historical archive of the GrapheneOS code. Please get in touch with me if you have clones of the Git repositories from 2015 or earlier. The repositories on GitHub were the ones created for the CopperheadOS Beta but don't have older tags, etc.

There was an earlier generation of repositories for the CopperheadOS Alpha and earlier when the project was based on CyanogenMod, including before it was branded as CopperheadOS. It would be ideal to obtain an archive of this code. Obtaining this would make a big difference.

The network graphs like github.com/GrapheneOS/pla and github.com/GrapheneOS/pla show some of the forks of the project from the CopperheadOS Beta era. There were also forks in the earlier Alpha era and earlier. Ideally, we can get a full archive of it, not just specific repositories.

We have complete tags for NBD90Z.2016.10.05.01.09.35 and later. This was before the time period when the source code was placed under non-commercial usage licensing in a misguided attempt to prop up the former sponsor. Need a much more complete archive of 2014/2015 tags/branches.

I didn't realize this would ever be important so I didn't keep local archives of everything. gharchive.org can be used to look back at a lot of the commit metadata which is helpful but it's not as good as a proper archive of all of the repositories with the code, etc.
