Has anyone written import support for rcs repos?

(I've a few config hierarchies using RCS I'd like to convert.)

you can use my fromcvs importer, which should work with RCS repos as well.  tell me how it works.

Just migrate to CVS first, and then use "git cvsimport".

CVS obviously *uses* RCS as the individual file format, so migrating a set 
of RCS files to CVS really is pretty damn trivial. It's basically just 
copying the RCS *,v files over to the appropriate CVSROOT directory 
structure and adding some Entries files. I think CVS even comes with a 
"rcs-to-cvs" conversion script.

Yeah, just checked: google for "rcs-to-cvs.sh"

(I don't know how well it works, but I can't imagine that it won't do a 
good job. CVS really largely is "RCS with some scripts around it")
