Marc:
Wouldn't a less kludgy fix be to just unset RCSINIT at the top of the
script? Are there any settings that the user would forseeably want to
override for this usage(reading from a CVS repository during an import to
Subversion)? If the issue really is "people using RCS directly will get
behavior based on their settings rather than based on what CVS would
probably have done" then that seems like the best bet to me...
Sincerely,
