(8) Revision Control - RCS
RCS - Revision Control System
Walter Tichy at Purdue, from 1982 onward.
Very stable code, still in use
Single file management, with strict locking to guard against conflicting updates
8+ commands, but in practice only
ci
(Check-in) and
co
(Check-out) are needed frequently.
Each controlled file has a corresponding RCS file with the suffix "
,v
"
RCS files can live in the same directory, or in an "
RCS/
" subdirectory (recommended)
The most recent version of the file is stored verbatim, for fast retrieval. All older versions are internally stored as reverse deltas.
