I know that there is no definitive choice made for a new revision
control system, but it is possible to move the RCS file history to git.
A search gives several methods to move data from RCS to a new
revision control, if the old commit history is important...
I tried this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1619737/migrate-project-from-rcs-to-git
and this mentioned Ruby script (see the typical usage, and example
below): http://git.oblomov.eu/rcs-fast-export
and obtained a revision history for the archive mentioned above. The
(essential?) commit messages are missing and some commits contain a
list of n's, no clue why those n's are included.
