Wow, that is really sick. Anyway, the normal behavior for Emacs is to keep locked files around, so I'd say we should cater for that case primordinarily. If that means some slight inconvenience in "classical" RCS use from the command line, presumably not getting notice of the virtual file presence until checked out, it should be something we can live with. It would be better, and nearly as easy, to default the answer to "yes" when Emacs in batch mode asks about recreating such a file.
