I don't think that interpretation holds water.  Not even the version
control history is part of the _corresponding_ source code AFAICT.  If
it were, GPLed software distributions would be a nightmare since you
would have to deliver everything with complete history.

Only very nonstandard usage of version control might make the
_corresponding_ source code be contained in more than HEAD of the
release branch.
