# Use rcs for storing files in the archive directory?
+# WARNING: When configured to use rcs, read and execute permissions of
+# archived files may be inherited from the first check in of a working
+# file, as documented in the ci(1) man page. This means that even if
+# the permissions of the working file have since changed, the older
+# permissions of the first check in may be inherited. As mentioned in
+# the ci(1) man page, users can control access to RCS files by setting
+# the permissions of the directory containing the files (see
+# archive-dir above).
