OK, I see.  I admit that the obvious (and nearly transparent) solution
of keeping all the sources checked out (read only) is correct.  In
addition to these two responses, a more clued-in person here tipped
me off to the scene.

On the subject of RCS: I saw, in a message from some archive somewhere,
mention of some sort of registration that should be carried out with the
creator of the RCS system.  I can't find any mention of this in the sources
I have (which I think came from the usenet archive).
