NAME
rcsfreeze - freeze a configuration of sources checked in under RCS

SYNOPSIS
rcsfreeze [symbolic revision name]

DESCRIPTION
The rcsfreeze command has the purpose of assigning a symbolic
revision number to a set of RCS files, which form a valid
configuration.

The idea is to run rcsfreeze each time a new version is checked in.
A unique symbolic revision number (C_number, where number is
increased each time rcsfreeze is run) is then assigned to the most
recent revision of each RCS file of the main trunk.

If the command is invoked with an argument, then this argument is
used as the symbolic name to freeze a configuration. The unique
identifier is still generated and is listed in the log file but it
will not appear as part of the symbolic revision name in the actual
RCS files.

A log message is requested from the user which is saved for future
references.

The shell script works only on all RCS files at one time. It is
important that all changed files are checked in (there are no
precautions against any error in this respect). Run rcsclean(1)
first and see whether any sources remain in the current directory.

FILES
[RCS/]rcsfreeze.version for the version number

[RCS/]rscfreeze.log for the log messages, most recent log
message first.

out and modified.
