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to be deleted, you would be marking a revision to be outdated.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.)
