The Version Control facility of emacs(1) works as a front end
to RCS. This information applies specifically to Version 19.34 of GNU
Emacs, which is provided with the major Linux distributions. When
editing a file with emacs(1) which is registered with RCS,
the command vc-toggle-read-only (bound to C-x C-q by
default) will check a file in to the emacs's Version Control, and then
into RCS. Emacs will open a buffer where you can type a log message
to be included in the RCS log. When you are finished typing a log
entry, type C-c C-c to terminate your input and proceed with
the check-in process.
If you have selected strict locking for the file with RCS, you must
re-lock the file for editing by emacs(1). You can check the
file out for emacs's Version Control with the command % in
buffer-menu mode.
For more information, see the GNU Emacs Manual and the Emacs info pages.
