Sccs2rcs is a script to convert an existing SCCS
history into an RCS history without losing any of
the information contained therein.
It has been tested under the following OS's:
SunOS 3.5, 4.0.3, 4.1
Ultrix-32 2.0, 3.1
Things to note:
+ It will NOT delete or alter your ./SCCS history under any
circumstances.
+ Run in a directory where ./SCCS exists and where you can
create ./RCS
+ /usr/local/bin is put in front of the default path.
(SCCS under Ultrix is set-uid sccs, bad bad bad, so
/usr/local/bin/sccs here fixes that)
+ Date, time, author, comments, branches, are all preserved.
+ If a command fails somewhere in the middle, it bombs with
a message -- remove what it's done so far and try again.
"rm -rf RCS; sccs unedit `sccs tell`; sccs clean"
There is no recovery and exit is far from graceful.
If a particular module is hanging you up, consider
doing it separately; move it from the current area so that
the next run will have a better chance or working.
Also (for the brave only) you might consider hacking
the s-file for simpler problems: I've successfully changed
the date of a delta to be in sync, then run "sccs admin -z"
on the thing.
+ After everything finishes, ./SCCS will be moved to ./old-SCCS.
This file may be copied, processed, hacked, mutilated, and
even destroyed as long as you don't tell anyone you wrote it.
