This is how all the VC backends work, and having the RCS one work the
same way seems pretty logical to me. (And when giving it a parent
directory, it'll ask whether
Create RCS subdirectory? (y or n) y
so I think everything here is working as designed, and I'm closing this
bug report. If there's more to be done here, please respond to the
debbugs address and we'll reopen.
