Topic: perl commits only from 1987 - 1995
Hi there - the history you are looking at is before Perforce and was manually assembled.
I'm afraid I'm really not sure how to comment, because your assertion makes no sense at all. What do you think you mean by "multiple file deletions" ? Can you describe what you mean using git commands to show what is going on? And there are no .cs files in that commit; none since about perl 5.0 alpha 9, which is long before the version you refer to.
The conversion is still a work in progress, yes - I tried to enlist the (somewhat unfinished) preview repository I made, but the import choked on it.
