handle. There are too many levels of branching.
Action: Reorganize the revisions in the RCS file to require fewer levels of branching.
Message: Revision number rev too low
Cause: A component of the revision number rev is too low. For example, you tried to
check in a file with a lower revision number than what you checked it out with.
Action: User a higher revision number.
Message: revision rev already locked by username
Cause: You tried to lock a revision which was already locked by username.

RCS
file that does not exist.

Cause: The RCS utility was unable to read a password from standard input, probably be-

Cause: You specified an input file that contained too many characters for
RCS to handle.
The input file was truncated.
Action: Reduce the size of the input file.
Message: Stringtable overflow

the edit scripts needed to build a given revision.
Action: Delete excess revisions with rcs –o.
Message: symbolic name sym_name already bound to rev
Cause: You attempted to assign a symbolic name to a revision, but that symbolic name
was already assigned to another revision.
Action: Either pick a different name, or remove the old symbolic assignment.
Cause: You specified a symbolic name that did not begin with a letter.
