When revisiting this issue, I thought that this first commit was introducing a kind of scaffold necessary to set up the project. If that is the case, this project did not delete the history. Am I correct?
hi @leocwolter, do you have any comments on this issue?
Are you its deleted @gustavopinto ?
Hi there,
I'm a researcher studying software evolution. As part of my current research, I'm studying the implications of open-sourcing a proprietary software, for instance, if the project succeed in attracting newcomers. However, I observed that some projects, like mamute, deleted their software history.

Thanks in advance for your collaboration,
