Re: Changing RCS Directory

[Aaron S. Hawley]

Are you aware you can specify for some RCS commands both your working file
(the file you wish to check-in or have checked-out to)  and the RCS file
(the RCS file you want to check-in to, or check-out out from) that you'd
like to commit it to?

example:

ci file.c /repository/project/src/fun/RCS/file.c

so you could use a wrapper shell script to get your desired functionality.

hope this helps,
