I have just completed a project to convert an old and scruffy SCCS working tree to Git. This conversion involved a fair amount of toolsmithing.

I have published my conversion scripts at https://git.csx.cam.ac.uk/x/ucs/ipreg/sccs2rcs2cvs2git.git

And there is a report on the conversion process at https://git.csx.cam.ac.uk/x/ucs/ipreg/sccs2rcs2cvs2git.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/ABOUT.html

Tony.
