I am not sure whether you know that all modern version control systems are based on the ideas of SCCS and that a frontend to SCCS was the first distributed system at all. Check e.g. "NSE", "TeamWare" and "KitKeeper". All modern systems more or less even copied the BitKeeper Command line interface. The advantage of SCCS is the history file format that allows a lot of features and that gives the best performance.
