5.10 RCS

monotone rcs_import filename...
This command imports all the file versions in each RCS file listed in filename.... These files should be raw RCS files, ending in ,v. Monotone parses them directly and inserts them into your database. Note that this does not do any revision reconstruction, and is only useful for debugging.
monotone cvs_import pathname...
This command imports all the file versions in each RCS file found in the tree of files starting at pathname..., then reconstructs the tree-wide history of logical changes by comparing RCS time stamps and change log entries. For each logical tree-wide change, monotone synthesizes a manifest and revision, and commits them (along with all associated file deltas) to your database. It also copies all change log entries, author identifiers, and date stamps to manifest certificates.
