Git depends on RCS
Somehow, that says it all.
Apparently Git depended on the RCS package to get at certain merge functions. This is ironic, because RCS is a primitive 1st generation version control tool (sort of) that predates CVS.

Update:
- Dave O’Neill just pointed out to me that this dependency was actually removed in January ‘06. I looked around further and discovered that it’s the Debian “etch” package of Git 1.4.x that depends on RCS. This has been superceeded in “lenny” which presents 1.5.x.
