@@ -0,0 +1,21 @@ + Simple Revision Control + +The venerable RCS (Revision Control System) has survived into the era +of distributed version control because it fills a niche: sometimes you +only *want* to track changes in single files at a time - for example, +if you have a directory full of documents with separate histories. + +SRC (Simple Revision Control) is RCS, reloaded. It remains +determinedly file-oriented and doesn't even track the committer of a +change (because that's always you), but incorporates the design and +user-interface lessons of modern version-control systems. It features +sequential revision numbers, lockless operation, embedded command +help, and a command set that will seem familiar to users of +Subversion, Mercurial, and Git. + +See INSTALL for the (very simple) installation instructions. + +Run 'make check' for the regression test. + + Eric S.
