I'd love to see a git history for our current US legislation

  Yes. We need git-blame here.

  You're in luck, someone recreated the constitution in git with the history of edits https://github.com/jessekphillips/usa-constitution https://github.com/jessekphillips/usa-constitution Edit: just noticed the dates aren't accurate, but still interesting and the authors are accurate

    Can git do pre-1970 dates?

      The file/wire format can, but the official implementation doesn't handle it well. There is some work in progress to make it work, for this kind of historical work.
