You will have to ask Jim.  I presume the initial commit was a long
process, one file at a time, and it was done according to some
more-or-less arbitrary order.  Don't forget that Emacs was maintained
for several years before the initial commit, so all the files were
already there.

The result is consistent with what the CVS repository shows, so I
don't understand why you have any doubts.
