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 sym-
bolic 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 argu-
ment 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(L) 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.

checked out and modified.
