It will only export 100 revisions at a time. So you can get the full page
history eventually by repeatedly exporting 100 at a time; this could
probably be automated easily enough with a script. I don't think I'd try
it
manually for any article with a large page
history though.
Considering how allowing reuse of our material in compliance with the GFDL
is the central goal of the Wikipedia project, it's kind of bizarre that
fixing this hasn't received a higher priority. Or is it broken by design? I
can't imagine any reason why it would be.
It was originally limited like this because exporting was too
server-intensive. I don't know if it's still a problem.
