It's not just me. AFAIK not a single committer in the xwiki project has ever copied
the history between our active repositories (except you before this mail was voted ;)). We
have copied history when we moved to retired or when we moved from xwiki-contrib to xwiki
but that's normal since in those cases the source repo was supposed to be
"dead" and I completely agree with this.
Anyway let's try to find an agreement on the other thread.

A current practice *IS* a de facto rule.
For example imagine that suddenly I rename the XWiki project to "YWiki" simply
because there's no explicit rule that says that this project has to be named
"XWiki" (even though it's been the current practice to name this project
"XWiki"). Are you sure you're going to like this? You're going to ask me
to revert because it's not the current practice and it's not been voted. And
you'd be right :)
Thanks
