RCS is a venerable version control system available in many UNIX systems for local version tracking. Adds support for initializing an RCS repo and discovering it as an existing version control system.
I was starting a Rust project on an OpenBSD system that didn't have git available, and reached for my other typical local VCS, RCS. I thought it'd be nice if Cargo could make RCS repos automatically, and so added support for it.
Differing a bit from other VCSes, we need to init RCS slightly later in the lifetime of creating a repo, which is why I included a
late_init
function to complete the initialization after the package has already been laid out.I tested creating several projects locally, and doing
cargo init
on existing projects without RCS repos.
