So according to our Git history, lilypond-1.0.1 is on record more than a
year before 0.0.1.

That's – interesting.

More interesting is to add --source.  That would indicate that the early
commits are reachable through refs/tags/release/1.7.25:

commit c4823afaaa48ef634ed9a2f6ce0441c1c0f894d2
Merge: af31352 4b2ad63
Author: janneke <janneke>
Date:   Fri Jul 18 00:04:55 2003 +0000

    This commit was manufactured by cvs2svn to create tag 'lilypond_1_7_25'.

Now why is that commit/branch not in our normal history?

What _is_ this history?

git log --stat --all --date-order --reverse --source |head -400 >/tmp/hist

Well, one gets the idea: this looks more like conception/pregnancy than
the actual birth of LilyPond.  So maybe the Oct 1996 date is indeed the
point to celebrate.
