The problem with using RCS as sync (as base) is that it is least
powerfull of VCS, and as far as I know do not offer place to store
extra information, so conversion from Git to RSS will lose some
information (committership, signed commits and signed merges, signed
tags, etc.).
There is a tool to create fast-import stream from RCS repository,
but I am not sure if there is reverse (fast-import is a common
intermediate fairly VCS_agnostic representation used for fast
conversion between different version control systems).
