The Unix History repository on GitHub [1] aims to

of Unix from the 1970s until today under Git revision control. Through
a few changes recently made [2] it's now possible for individual
contributors to have their GitHub profile linked to their early Unix
contributions. Ken Thompson graciously made this move last week
following a personal email invitation. I think it would be really cool
if more followed. This would send a powerful message of continuity and
tradition in computing to youngsters joining GitHub today.
Given that using git enforces a loss of meta data, is there a chance to get
the SCCS history for older UNIX versions?
