RCS quickstart
Gleaned from Linux Server Hacks
- Create an RCS directory
- Execute a 'ci -i filename'
- Execute a 'co -l filename' and edit as you wish.
- Execute a 'ci -u filename' to check in changes.
The initial time you checkout the copy, it will be locked, and this can cause problems if someone else wishes to edit it; you should probably edit it once and put in the version placeholder in comments somewhere at the top or bottom:
$VERSION$
and then check it back in with the -u flag to unlock it.
