About the development of INN 1.5.1 through 1.8 (2.0)

Hi all,

I have a question about our current SVN.
We have tags for INN 1.5.1, INN 2.0, INN 2.1, INN 2.2.1 and all released 
versions after 2.2.1.
I think 2.2.0 is revision 1724, according to the tar.gz, so we can 
probably add it.

Do we have the 1.x versions in our SVN after 1.5.1?  I see in the OLD 
section of ftp.isc.org there are 1.7.0, 1.7.1 and 1.7.2 versions after 
that one; the other versions seem to be only beta versions (1.5.2pre1 
and 1.6.0b1) so maybe INN 1.5.2 and 1.6.0 were never released.

If I look for instance at the 1.7.0 tar.gz, I do not manage to match its 
CHANGES file with the changelog in our SVN.  Does it mean that there 
were two different development branches at that time?  One from ISC that 
was producing 1.x versions after 1.5.1 and another one in the CVS that 
became the current SVN?

It seems that the CVS mentioned 1.8-current (in patchlevel.h) very 
quickly after the initial 1.5.1 commit; so I wonder what happened at 
that time (the initial commit would have been against 1.7.2 if the 1.8.0 
version, renamed 2.0.0, was under development).

If someone has a (quick) bit of history to share, I will be happy to hear!

Thanks,
