At this point my question is how does rcs handle binary files? I know that cvs will use rsync to optimize downloads of changed binary files, but how does rcs handle checking in/out? Does it keep some sort of binary diffs? This is important as I expect to be using rcs/cvs to do a web project soon. Obviously, keeping track of changes to the gifs and jpegs will be important.
