According to the man page for RCS, RCSINIT sets options for the RCS
commands. Because you are using RCS instead of CVS to handle the RCS
files, you are subject to the user's environmental variations for
executing the command. It may be desirable to set the -x switch for
co to explicitly reference the ,v files since that is the only way
that CVS works. RCS has the option of using RCS/ directories to store
log files instead of renaming source file with a ,v suffix.
I'm not--yet!--subversion savvy. But, here's a patch to override the
environmental -x switch, if there is one. What it means is that co
will look first for FILENAME,v and then for RCS/FILENAME. As far as I
know, CVS will only use the ,v format. Setting -x to ,v/ is changing
it to the default on most platforms.
