You'd be surprised. SCCS is not broadly understood. And BK is not exactly SCCS.

I read the SourcePuller code when it was published (sp-01). It's pretty easy reading. I give Tridge credit for that. I wrote a little test, got it to checkout the wrong data with no errors reported. Issue was still there in sp-02 .

Rick saying "I worked on BK" is the understatement of the century. He showed up and looked at my code, I had done things in a way that you could have walked the weave and extract any number of versions at the same time. He was really impressed with that. I split apart stuff that Rick had not seen before.

Then he proceeded to fix my code over and over again. I had a basic understanding of SCCS but Rick understood the details.

Rick knows more about SCM than any guy I know.

And he is right, SCCS is not well understood and BK even less so.
