Sorry for the cryptic subject.  I like to use RCS.  The only problem
is, how to make a patch from this? 

It is easy enough if you only have one directory, then you just use
rcsdiff.  The only problem is, rcsdiff doesn't have a -r switch!  So,
what about making a patch from multiple directories?

Also, what's the status of rcsclean in 5.6?

Thanks.

A simple way is the (Bourne) shell command:
	rcsdiff `
		find . -name '*,v' -print |
		sed 's|,v$||; s|RCS/||' |
		sort
	`
For a more complete solution, you can use CVS (also distributed by the FSF).

The same as in earlier versions of RCS: it's experimental.
The source is available, but the program is not installed by default.
Please send bug reports or questions to rcs-bugs@cs.purdue.edu.
