After thinking about it, I admit I don't understand this logic.
Git bzr, hg are server/client based with a common repository, in which
case this command makes sense.
But the situation I consider is entirely different. Maybe I have not
explained this well enough.
Suppose I have a latex file under RCS version control:
newpublication.tex
However I collaborate with someone, who does not use RCS, but sends me
his modified version of this document.
I want to check this in into the RCS, but specifying a different author.
But the only way I see to do this, is to have a prompt asking for the
new user.
How otherwise could the RCS system guess the author? the file I checked
in does not provide any information concerning the author whatsoever.
I am puzzled.
