[Fwd: Bug#212038: rcs: ci: should be able to edit the log message]

[Mark Baker]

Hi,

I'm the debian developer responsible for debian's rcs package. Recently 
a debian user filed this bug report, which is actually a feature request.

I may have a look at doing this myself; it sounds like a fairly simple 
thing to add. I'm not promising anything though.

(I think using ~e or any other such escape could potentially cause 
compatibility problems, as rcs is often called from other programs or 
scripts. A command line option might be better).
