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".

One possible reason that things aren't going according to plan
is that there never was a plan in the first place.
