AFAICT, this bug happens when you have, on the last line of a file,
what appears to RCS to be a $Keyword: ... $ construct, but have
neither the closing $ nor a newline at the end of the file.

As a first step, we could warn if the last char of a file is '@' rather
than '\n'. We may want to just stop here.

As a second step, we could only warn if the above holds, AND the last
line of the file matches the above constraints. This may also be an
acceptable stopping place.

As a final step, we could actually remove the trailing @ if all of the
above contraints hold AND the raw RCS file's text for the entry (which
is available from rcsparse) ends with "@" but not "@@@".
