+What would be trademarked in the svn log ?
+
+And more ever, what would be trademarked that we could not remove once

+One reason to keep history is that it contains the name of those who
+worked on the spec, and thus may be required as they have a part of the
+copyright on the spec files. And therefor, dropping this information may
+actually be illegal.
