In GNU Emacs 19.22.3 of Fri Mar 18 1994 on jacobi (berkeley-unix) Along with RCS revision available on prep i.e. rcs-5.6.0.1.tar.gz VC does not work correctly when there are RCS branches: We have a main trunk and at rev 1.68 I created a branch rev 1.68.1.1 and took a lock on 1.68.1.2 in order to make some changes while my collegue was working and had locked 1.69. So the base file contained something like: .... locks: strict sb: 1.69 ddw: 1.68.1.2 access list: .... to describe the current locks. Neither of us could then do a proper operation using C-XC-Q it kept asking us whether we want to steal the lock on revision number: nil. I was able to recover by doing the ci's by hand. But this makes the mode usable one person per file and no more even when there are branches. Somewhat annoying... Is there a fix for this in a newer release or somewhere else? Thanks a lot, D. -- Dominique de Waleffe ddw@sunbim.be BIM sa Chaussee de Louvain, 510 Tel: +32 2 719 26 14 B-1930 Zaventem Fax: +32 2 725 47 83 Belgium PGP-Public-Key available on request
