In particular I'm trying to learn how to use Subversion from within Emacs. I've discovered psvn.el which is an SVN equivalent for PCL-CVS, and rc-svn.el which is an SVN backend for RC. I've got the Emacs Manual open in Info on the Version Control chapter, and I've found the online Subversion book: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/. The piece of the puzzle I am missing is what the differences are between PCL-* and RC-* in Emacs. I can see that they offer different functionality: it looks to me like RC-* is for actually working on particular files in an RC system, whereas PCL-* is more for browsing an RC system. Is that correct? Could someone offer a concise and definitive account of what these two systems in Emacs (PCL-* and RC-*) are for to an RCS newbie? TIA.
