RCS vs SCCS: How do they interact with make(1
The fact that SCCS uses prefixes (s.file.c) means that make(1)can't treat them in an ordinary manner, and special rules
(involving '~' characters) must be used in order for make(1) to
work with SCCS; even so, make(1) on some UNIX platforms will not
apply default rules to files that are being managed with SCCS.
The suffix notation (file.c,v) for RCS means that ordinary
suffix-rules can be used in all implementations of make(1), even
if the implementation isn't designed to handle RCS files
specially.
