But as I learned from David and Eli that ESR, removed another feature, namely undo-last-checkin AKA rollback. I confess I have no idea how this concept makes sense in git and friends but I know that it makes a lot of sense in RCS. Here is a scenario: I collaborate with somebody, by email, about say an article. The collaborator does not use any VC at al. It happened more than once that I obtained some version from him, checked it in and then heard «sorry this was the wrong version here comes the right one». Now if I have undo-last-checkin function no problem, but if I don't have, then the situation is a bit uncomfortable: I can checkin the new one, but if I want to use vc-annotate, which I do often, then there is one version which disturbs the workflow and I don't know how to get rid of it. So if it is not too much work could this functionally, for RCS, please be restored? Thank you Uwe Brauer
