I've never used RCS; what do you feel like you're getting from that? My editor can tell me committed-on if I want it to, so it's a bit of a head-scratcher for me.

Really just 2 things: * Tags in the binary which can be listed using ident(1) * If I have a object checked out, no one can check in their changes without talking to me. Most other SC deals with this automatically, but I am old school :) * works nice with emacs, but on OpenBSD the emacs interface is broken, you need to install GNU RCS for OpenBSD :( One thing I really like about git is gpg signing on commit, but on the BSDs pinentry* does not prompt when used from inside emacs, so signing fails when using gpg

    Sounds like an argument I had too :)
