Maybe sccs is old enough that, having moved on long ago
(if they were going to move at all), folks aren't writing / maintaining
scripts for that anymore, lost to history. Wouldn't be too hard to
interate each commit, message and timestamp into the filesystem
and then load that into any other repo, the original timestamps might
become comments, or bump the clock. Perhaps try going to one
of the historical intermediates in the same lineage first...

Those that know unix know that ;)

Which, fortunate or not, are all forgotten by the open
source community likely due to licenses and lack of
maintenance and public userbase.

There are a lot of good in many things to continue to advocate
and integrate and deploy, and a lot of market share and good
stuff in things that users are using today.

AFAIK, only the admin of a SF project list can do that somehow,
see example below. And all the old list homes are dead, so
you would have the archives to be able to publish them as well.

cdrtools never let me down yet, and star helped a lot on some
projects :)
