[9fans] plan 9 on github

[David du Colombier]

I've recently converted my archives of /n/sources/plan9
to Git and uploaded the repository on GitHub.

https://github.com/0intro/plan9

It contains the entire history of /n/sources/plan9,
one commit per day, from December 12, 2002 to today,
excluding the binaries and empty directories.

I tried to make it as accurate as possible with the
exact content, dates and permissions.

Please let me know if you notice any mistake.

I think this repository could be used as a reference
for people interested in the history of Plan 9 or
wanting to use it as a basis for their own changes.

It could also be useful for people wanting to merge
Plan 9 code in their projects like plan9port, vx32,
drawterm and others.

Have fun.

You could have used --aggressive garbage collection, it reduces
the package to exactly 100MB.

I now have three incarnations of the codebase in my arena, that
gives a lot of precious code for rotting.

Yes. Unfortunately, this is too late for the GitHub
repository now. On the other side, it would be only
10 MB smaller.

This is great! Thx!

I had a few bug reports on the kernel that I think
never got included in the mainline plan9. Should I make pull requests? Is there anyway this github repo could be synchronized with the main plan9-labs repo?

I think I could create a fork repository for
contributions.

I have all the scripts to keep it synchronized (like
it's already the case for https://hg.9grid.fr/plan9),
but I doubt there will be any new changes from the lab
at this point.
