I am looking for a modular version of RCS (revision control system) or a
decent front end to RCS providing modular revision control.

Modular here should be taken to mean the ability to check in several
files/modules as a module or individually and then to be able to check
them out as a module or individually. Each module would have its own
revision number and each file would likewise have its own revision
number.

For example files "a" (revision 2) and "b" (revision 6) and module "c"
(revision 3) are checked in as a module called "d" (revision 1). Then
module "d" (revision 1) could be checked out. Where checking
out module "d" (revision 1) results in checking out "a" (revision 2),
"b" (revision 6), and "c" (revision 3).

I think this gets the basic idea across. The more bells and whistles
the better within reason.

Off hand it doesn't look too hard to write a front end to RCS to do this
but it's not the kind of thing I want to do right now.

Please e-mail replies to j-simonson@uiuc.edu

Thanks,

JS
