First I've heard of this project, which is a shame because it sounds(/sounded?) quite cool.

In case anyone else goes looking, I found a mirror that is current as of January 4th, 2024 (commit 61d225e).

Is there any way to download this with the commit history as well?

The SWH FAQ[1] seems to suggest that you can download a bare git clone with the "revision" download option, but I can't seem to find that option on the portal64 repo.

I've just requested a git-bare bundle for the latest snapshot via their API. It should contain all branches and releases in a bare Git repository which can be used to reconstruct the repository. It'll take a bit, but you can see the progress here:

Once it's finished, it should be available at:
