My understanding of RCS (based on rather limited experience of it -- I use SCCS by preference) is that if you incorporate something like: $Header:$ into your source file and then place the file under RCS control with ci, then when you next check it out with co, you will find something like: $Header: /home/johnl/tmp/RCS/x,v 1.2 14/09/92 11:07:59 johnl Exp $ in your source, at exactly where you left the original. If the original is in a comment, the expanded version will be in the same place. If the original is in a string, it will be in the string, and the string will be found in the executable too, so ident(1) will find it.
