First commit was on July 9, 1996. 1045 total commits to date; 381 of those by Dan Margalit, the rest by me.
We used a number of version control programs for the electronic manuscript: RCS, CVS, and finally SVN.
Looks like the release date I'd posted originally was a bit optimistic. I'm now hoping for March 2012
