Description
I gather from Kevin's [comment on issue #11](https://github.com/kevinbentley/Descent3/issues/11#issuecomment-2059550095_) in the main Descent 3 repo that the D3Edit source was probably recovered from Wayback Machine's archive of [http://d3edit.warpcore.org/source.html](https://web.archive.org/web/20000826212016/http://d3edit.warpcore.org/source.html) as v1.1 (dated February 10, 2000) appears to have been the only snapshot available.
Unfortunately, some changes have been lost with the original CVS repository as several beta releases were made after that point -- the latest being [v1.1 beta 9](https://web.archive.org/web/20050208161542/http://d3edit.warpcore.org/latest_build.shtml) (built on August 28, 2003).
It's more of a historical curiosity at this point, but if the original CVS history (or at least a checkout of the latest revision) could be recovered it would be worth preserving.

Start by reviewing the linked Wayback Machine snapshots and Kevin's comment on issue #11 to determine whether the original CVS history or a later checkout can be recovered. Done means preserving any recovered CVS history or latest source revision in a verifiable form; the issue names no repository files or tests.
