Fred was me when I populated the history of our CVS using
tarball releases and patches, using a cheesy script.  The first
six years we used tarball releases and mailing patches.

We usually had a pattern like

  [hanwen]: lilypond-0.0.60.tar.gz
  [jan]:    lilypond-0.0.60.jcn.diff.gz -> mail to hanwen
  [hanwen]: lilypond-0.0.60.hwn1.diff.gz -> hanwen's hacks + jcn1 -> mail to jan
    OR
  [hanwen]: lilypond.0.0.60.hwn1.diff.gz -> mail to jan
  [jan]:    lilypond-0.0.60.jcn2.diff.gz -> includes .hwn1 -> mail to hanwen

until we got to .jcn/.hwn 3/4/5 and Han-Wen made a new release.  This then
included patches sent to the list by Mats [.mb], Werner [.wl] and others.

It would be nice but hardly doable to make a much better history, 
as most of the intermediate releases and patches have been lost [I think].
Not all intermediate patches had good changelog entries.
