I'm looking for a source of online help for R base
packages, which covers all versions (for some reasonable value of
"all"). So e.g. the equivalent of `?lm` for R 4.1.0.
These live in the R source tree, under src/library:
https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/src/library/
For the actual releases of R, you may have to go looking at the
branches inside that repository, e.g., the following command:
svn log \
https://svn.r-project.org/R/branches/R-4-1-branch/src/library/stats/man/lm.Rd
...should tell you the history of ?lm until the latest R-4.1-patched.
Do the Git mirrors track these release branches? The branching model of
Subversion [*] is different from the Git model, so perhaps not.
The wch/r-source mirror tracks the releases. It takes svn tags and
branches and converts them all to git branches. For example, here's the
help for Rd2HTML from R 2.9.0:
https://github.com/wch/r-source/blob/tags/R-2-9-0/src/library/tools/man/Rd2HTML.Rd
