The point is to put back the specific RCS commands that were recently = removed. Those of us using RCS do so because it's in the base system. If we = wanted/needed another SCM, we would install it from ports. But many of = us use RCS specifically because installing a port is not an option. = *Why* it's not an option is not relevant. RCS is not broken, and is very low maintenance code. = /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/rcs has been modified four times in the last = decade. Two of those changes were sweeping Makefile updates that = affected much more than RCS. Of the other two, only one update touched = the actual code, and that was a one line change to a .h. --lyndon
