Do you ever delete the source files that are stored in RCS?
If not, then this feature will never do anything in your case.
So why object?
I'm not sure that I understand your question, but maybe I can clarify
via example: ~/Library/elisp/RCS/mh-flists.el,v exists and contains
valuable (to me) historic information about changes over time, but ~/
Library/elisp/mh-flists.el does not exist, should not exist, and has
not existed for many months.
I had read the discussion to suggest that emacs would, under certain
circumstances, silently recreate the later file from the former. If
I am mistaken, please forgive my interruption -- I have been moving
recently, and might easily have missed some detail while reading
emacs-devel in bits and spurts.
Regardless, I merely hoped to aid by describing some (possibly
unusual) usage patterns that I have held for years; I'm sure that I
can adapt myself and/or emacs for my own usage.

Ah, I see that I misunderstood this part. Mea Culpa, and thanks for
setting me straight.
