Does anyone recall when git first self-hosted? This doesn't seem to be present on the GitHistory page on the wiki, and I'm not finding it elsewhere.

I suppose this could mean different things, but roughly I'm curious about the earliest point at which all further commits were human-generated, in real time, as opposed to the machine-generated commits of some robo-import script. I'm not seeing this transition in the git-log, which seems to go continuously back to the very beginning (which is a little disturbing :-).
