Not to over-state the importance of this particular version control system,
but having this code on github is game-changing; thanks, guys.

Here's another data point: when I asked Kirk regarding the public
availability of the SCCS repo he pointed me to http://svnweb.freebsd.org/
csrg/.
At https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo you can find a single
1GB repository that integrates many of the snapshots and version control
repositories available through TUHS and other sources (including the CSRG
data). Its commit history starts on Jun 20th 1972 with the First Research
Edition and ends with FreeBSD 10 in 2015. Git blame works across all the
history's commits.

Aren't the SCCS sources for the real history
online? I know Kirk made
them available on his CD, I have them somewhere.
In a previous private e-mail I received from Kirk, he said:
The folks at UC
Berkeley have always required me to track distributions of the
SCCS
files as they somehow think of them as still sensitive.
which implies that the SCCS files cannot be released publicly. However,
the SVN version is a "derivative" of the SCCS files and, on that basis,
is publicly available. Go figure :)
