Yeah, the old cygnus repository wasn't stitched in perfectly.  You can
access the older repo history by looking at git log, and choosing a
point before all the import nonsense.  For example, suppose you were
interested in this line in gas/as.h

^252b5132c7 (Richard Henderson    1999-05-03 07:29:11 +0000  77) #define OPTION_STD_BASE 150

Then run "git log", search for commit 252b5132c7, skip over the
"generated by cvs2svn", "import" and "initial creation" entries to
find commit 1730ec6b1848f0f32154277f788fb29f88d8475b

Now, "git blame 1730ec6b1848f gas/as.h" shows you

f3d817d8b7d (David MacKenzie   1994-06-03 17:42:27 +0000 106) #define OPTION_STD_BASE 150
