[ci] maintaining state

[Aaron S. Hawley]

hey, I'm using 5.7.

I think the marker/keyword State is over-rated, but I am interested in
implicitly maintaining the state for a file, unless otherwise noted.

for instance:

% rcs -V
RCS version 5.7
% echo 1 > f.c
% ci -sRel -m1 -t-1 f.c # initialize state as Rel
% co f.c
% echo 2 >> f.c
% ci f.c
% ci -m2 f.c
f.c,v  <--  f.c
new revision: 1.2; previous revision: 1.1
done
% rlog f.c

RCS file: f.c,v
Working file: f.c
head: 1.2
branch:
locks: strict
access list:
symbolic names:
keyword substitution: kv
total revisions: 2;     selected revisions: 2
description:
1
----------------------------
revision 1.2
date: 2003-01-02 17:41:47-05;  author: ashawley;  state: Exp;  lines: +1
-0
2
----------------------------
revision 1.1
date: 2003-01-02 17:37:10-05;  author: ashawley;  state: Rel;
1
=============================================================================

I'm aware of the -k option for check-in (ci) but it does it for
everything (revision, date, locker, ..).

thanks for you help,
aaron
