Prepending is something that is not easily possible, indeed. Esp.
without rebasing everything on the nx* branch of nx-libs.git (and thus
breaking the merge points into master).
Actually, having the history in correct position is not worth a
complete rebase (to me). Many many people have cloned that nx-libs
repo and work with it. We cannot change the commit order, esp. not on
the master branch. This is not an option at all.
What may be an option is creating a new branch that hosts all patches
previous to the NX versions that we currently ship. That branch will
be complete detached of all other branches.

Nope, all Git related work must be done on your local working copy, I
guess. Speaking about Github -> do you mean the provider that provides
us with https://github.com? Or do you mean the central Git hosting
server (http://git.x2go.org). X2Go is not at github.com (at least
officially).
The gain of the all this will be ZERO in terms of pushing NX
development forward. Don't get me wrong... I'd love you to contribute
to our project, but please consider well, if there aren't other fields
of work that you could more sustainably spent your time and energy on.
Thanks+Greets,
Mike
