Ummm... why?

make's SCCS support depends on the presence of a SCCS/s.<name> file for each <name>. We don't have that. Teaching make about git would be equivalent to teaching it about parsing the index file.

Technically, that would require a stable libgit.so or so. In reality, however, I don't know when I last had a tree which wasn't fully populated, but it's been a while, and it's something that can be readily fixed by "git-checkout-cache -a".
