Idea (trying to inspire somebody into writing it for me):
========================================================

    How about an RCS edit mode?

    Note - I do not mean an RCS interface - I am familiar with several
of these (I use Brian Marick's config package to get SCCS as well as
RCS under the same roof, myself).

    I mean a mode that allows various editing operations to be performed
on the RCS file.

    Like dired or monkey mode - except that, instead of marking a file
to be deleted, you would be marking a revision to be outdated.

    Similarly, adding/removing/changing symbolic names, states, text,
etc.  (I'd really like to be able to edit a revision message, but I
don't think RCS allows that).



    Going further, it would be nice if the RCS mode could give you an
overview of an entire software system - not just a single RCS file, but
all of the RCS files in a directory tree.




(Dreaming in technicolour.  Email; I don't read this newsgroup any more.)
