Yes please.  The history is there in there repo(s) and there's so much
blind copying where the context is entirely lost.

From my perspective it would be nice to have fewer commits per-subtree
than with $FreeBSD removal.  In recent spelunking I've found that for low
traffic sub-trees I'm seeing a full screen (~50 lines for me) or more of those
logs before getting to commits with content changes due to inconsistent
formatting leading to multiple removal commits.
