You're welcome to remove whatever history you like from your personal
copy.  It's not worth the effort to the project as a whole to save a
small amount of disk space.

The CVS tree is currently 843 Mbytes, complete.  Storage cost (even if
you buy SCSI disks) is about $16.  With cheap disks, that's about $6.
The time it took me to do the research for this paragraph is worth
more than that!
