The first commit of this repository is 4 days old: 0998318

Did the git history get deleted?

When a Chromium version is released, it will be imported (as in the commit you've mentioned) and naiveproxy will then rebase its code onto it.

GitHub displays commits (and also sorts them) by their commit dates instead of their author dates. Usually, a commit gets a new commit date when it's rebased / cherry-picked, while its author date stays unchanged. To check a commit's author date, append .patch to the end of its URL on GitHub, or clone the repository to check locally.

If you'd like to view the history of naiveproxy, check the commits after the "import" one. Note that during the process of rebasing, certain commits may be dropped or merged together. You may want to check other release branches besides master to get to know more ancient histories.
