RCS was not a advantage for the developer community as it's use was based on a
missunderstanding of properties.
The first system to implement something based on previous good ideas was BK and
AFAIK, GIT was implemented originally as an empty shelf that aimed to imitate
the CLI from BK.

Given that
using git enforces a loss of meta data, is there a chance to get
the SCCS history for older UNIX versions?
You are the first person outside of BitMover that I've ever seen
recognize that. Go you! It's very annoying, we can write a perfect BK
to Git exporter but going the other way is a research project.
