Re: parsing rcs file ? (branches)

[Ronald Petty]

Actually this is to replace cvsweb.  Cvsweb is not easy to integrate and
uses rlog to parse RCS files, which fails sometimes (google, and in
practice).  Cvsweb is also in Perl and one big script which is not very
easy to change for personal needs (beside color,repositories,etc), and
there is no real security.

However as my question hopefully shows, this is a complete parser not
just calling rlog like cvsweb.  This will allow you to parse any RCS
file using php.  And since I have the algorithm written, I can port
easily to other languages/platforms.
