Hi all!
I'm pleased to announce that there's a new branch in the git repository,
named 'prehistory', which covers exactly that.
Good! I have one question: did you preserve the time stamps?
Initially I didn't, but I amended the commits to use the timestamp of the
tarball as the author date.
I did it by copying the timestamp from the website by hand, so a timezone offset
may be present, but I guess that's better than nothing.
You can check the branch here :)

Here's a sample:

P.S.: Andries, do you know anything about 1.1? There's the announce in
your ftp server, but the tarball is missing.
If man-pages-1.1.tar.gz is missing that means I didnt have it.
In fact I see time stamps in 1993 for those early files,
but 2004 for man-pages-1.1-announced, so I guess I searched
for man-pages-1.1 at that time and found only the announcement.
Yep, that was my guess. Well, we got enough for most archeology purposes.
Cheers,
Alex
