An interesting question, but maybe not quite as clear as to what is desired.
- Are you just looking for a print out of the files in the final commit - the finished project? - Are you looking for a listing of all the commits (headline/subject) from the very beginning to the final commit? - Are you looking for the commit messages as well that explain every step? - With each of the diff's for each explained commits? Some of your answer will depend on how you managed the repos workflow, such as having strong summary merge commits, or making sure that all the temporary 'wip' commits had been rebased away. You may have had at least some good tags that summarise major releases (relatively easy to list..). If it's just some formal summary document you need to tick a box for quality control then it (the readable summary) doesn't need doing well ;-) The main part will be to bundle whole repo and save that away as a 'compressed attachment' which will allow the complete repo to be recreated. You may need to prune the remote refs and temporary branches before using --all to ensure you have the minimum of extraneous crud in the bundle (--all gets all the crud refs and everything..)
