The old proprietary SSHv2 did #4, with the new command called 'scp2', and a long tail for the transition while 'scp' and 'scp2' coexisted.
Wasn't that part of generally adding "2" as a suffix to all their
command names when adding v2 protocol support?
Yes; however, the 'scp2' command was also transitioned to use the SFTP
protocol at the same time, as I recall.SSH.COM's website implies that
(but does not seem to provide the history):
https://www.ssh.com/ssh/sftp/#sec-SCP-Command-on-Linux . I'm unable to
find any other historical reference offhand that backs up my memory, so
take that for what it's worth. That said, it's not a bad idea. (-:
