| Major revision--------! !
| Minor revision----------!

| This expansion is done when SCCS checks a file back into the database.

But this is not what was asked for.  Under RCS, you have a line with
$Log$ in it, RCS will copy the contents of the reason for the change
into the file at that point, keeping a running history of the changes
made to the file since it was created (or until you delete the log
entries manually).

Without building programs that sit on top of sccs, I don't know of
anyway to automagically add the revision history.
