[Cuis] Suppress Credit

[Juan Vuletich]

I think that is a good idea. Besides, keeping the history of each method 
as we do today is not enough. Deleted methods have no history. There's 
no link between methods that got keywords/arguments added or removed 
(and one is the replacement of the other). There is no history of class 
shapes, etc. On top of that, we drop all history at rather arbitrary 
points in time (#condenseSources).

Definitively an area where improvements would be welcome!

OTOH, we are kind of following the conventional trend towards using Git 
(or similar) for versioning, and version agnostic dev tools. So, there 
is a tension there, and I don't see a clear, consistent and simple path.

Folks, please lets discuss this. We need ideas.

Cheers,
Juan Vuletich
