DragonFly BSD Source Code Full History
Author: Aaron LI
The current DragonFly BSD Git repository only has the code history since the fork in 2003, but no FreeBSD history before the fork. To get the full code history, I picked the FreeBSD code history until the DragonFly BSD fork commit to a separate Git repository, and then grafted it to the official DragonFly BSD code repository (see below for the details). I have pushed the grafted history to my DragonFly BSD repositories (@leaf, @github) for easier use by others.
Obtain the grafted history
To get the grafted history in your DragonFly BSD repository:
$ git remote add aly https://github.com/liweitianux/dragonflybsd.git
$ git fetch aly 'refs/replace/*:refs/replace/*'
Done 
If you prefer the repository on the leaf server, use:
$ git remote add aly git://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~aly/dragonfly.git
This extends the DragonFly BSD source code history by ~50k commits from FreeBSD until the epoch of the FreeBSD source.
The method employed here is git-replace. The DragonFly BSD's first commit is replaced by its historical commits from the FreeBSD source repository. In fact, the first commit is not really get modified, but is only interpreted differently by Git. All commits in the DragonFly BSD repository remain intact, i.e., their hashes don't change. You can regard the grafted history as a separate branch and you can use the repository as usual.
To use the grafted history, for example,
$ git log --oneline | wc -l
99974 # as of 2020-03-02; would be 40943 without the grafted history
$ git blame README

6dfa5e2f7c6d (Aaron LI 2018-06-01 12:47:58 +0800 28) The X86_64_GENERIC is the default x86_64 kernel configuration used in
6dfa5e2f7c6d (Aaron LI 2018-06-01 12:47:58 +0800 29) release builds. The VKERNEL64 is the default 64 bit vkernel(7) kernel
6dfa5e2f7c6d (Aaron LI 2018-06-01 12:47:58 +0800 30) configuration file. The file LINT64 contains entries for all possible
6dfa5e2f7c6d (Aaron LI 2018-06-01 12:47:58 +0800 31) devices, not just those commonly used, and is meant more as a general
6dfa5e2f7c6d (Aaron LI 2018-06-01 12:47:58 +0800 32) reference than an actual kernel configuration file (a kernel built
6dfa5e2f7c6d (Aaron LI 2018-06-01 12:47:58 +0800 33) from it wouldn't even run). Also see the config(8) man page.

How the grafted history was created
DragonFly BSD was forked from FreeBSD at the following commit:
Branch: RELENG_4 (stable/4)
Date: Jun 15 2003, 2:22 AM
Author: hmp
Log: MFC: rev. 1.31
URL: SVN r116367, Git @86ba855
NOTE:
The DragonFly BSD Git repository was converted from CVS, which was, however, not perfect. For example, many file renames/moves were not properly tracked.
The CVS keyword
$FreeBSD$was not expanded in the FreeBSD Git repository.
Therefore, the DragonFly BSD source code at the first commit is not an exact copy of the FreeBSD code at the fork commit. So an extra graft commit is required to concatenate the two ends.
Create the history repository
$ git clone --branch stable/4 -- https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd freebsd4
$ cd freebsd4
$ git reset --hard 86ba855 # the fork commit
$ git init --bare ../dragonflybsd-history.git
$ git push ../dragonflybsd-history.git stable/4:master
$ cd ..
$ git clone dragonflybsd-history.git
$ git clone https://github.com/DragonFlyBSD/DragonFlyBSD dragonflybsd
$ cd dragonflybsd
$ first_commit=$(git rev-list --reverse --max-parents=0 HEAD | head -n 1)
$ git checkout ${first_commit}
$ cd ../dragonflybsd-history
$ rm -rf *
$ cp -a ../dragonflybsd/* .
$ git config diff.renameLimit 99999
$ git add .
$ git commit # create the graft commit
See also my graft commit.
Graft the history in DragonFly BSD repository
$ cd ../dragonflybsd
$ git remote add history ../dragonflybsd-history/.git
$ git fetch history
$ graft_commit=$(git rev-parse --verify history/master)
$ first_commit=$(git rev-list --reverse --max-parents=0 HEAD | head -n 1)
$ git replace ${first_commit} ${graft_commit}
