A published code base doesn't necessarily mean a full revision history, just something others can reproducibly build and run. If your claims don't depend on specific behaviours of some body of code, you wouldn't need it - eg, an article claiming some asymptotic performance of an algorithm should describe the algorithm in the abstract s.t. the performance bound can be proven, not some specific language's implementation of the algorithm.
