Sometimes it means “revision control system” +referring in general to these types of system, and sometimes it talks +about GNU RCS, a specific system. + +I propose that “Version Control System” (“VCS”) has emerged as a +consensus term to refer to such systems in general, with no specific +reference to any particular system. + +So I'd like to modify the Bugs Everywhere code to disambiguate: the term +“VCS” will be used consistently to refer to version control systems in +general, and “RCS” will only ever refer to GNU RCS. + +This will change some interface (e.g. the ‘rcs_name’ configuration +setting, and some of the methods on objects), but making this change +while Bugs Everywhere is small will be much less painful than making it +later. + +Any objections?
