Hah! The last public software project I converted was from
SCCS to Git. And this was genuine circa-1980 Programmer's
Workbench SCCS, not some pale imitation. None of the
repository converters I found on the web worked, so I had to
write my own. I wish I'd known about your repository
toolset -- maybe some of its Swiss Army knife blades would
have saved me some work.
