You're right we should have a PSF-controlled copy of the entire branch
history in cases like this. I actually still keep an irregularly updated
clone of my entire sandbox repo on hg.python.org (that's actually where it
started), so I'll refresh that and add a link to the pep380 branch history
into the tracker item that covered the PEP 380 integration into 3.3.

I just added a note about it to the C API cleanup tracker item.
