Re: RCS question ...

[Aaron S. Hawley]

Trying it just now, I don't think changing the RCS file directly works
when you're changing a version number to a branch version number.

There's probably more than one way to do this.  I'd suggest checking
out everything with co -u23.1, then use rcs -o23.1 to delete the
revision, and rerun the ci command with the correct revision number,
2.23.1.1.

I'm not aware of a good way to use the RCS commands to renumber a
revision -- properly copying and updating the branch information,
message, date, author, version names.
