No. I used "cvs admin", not rcs. The specific commands I ran were the
following (and I'm pretty darn sure I posted this before):

cd pgsql/src/backend/parser
cvs admin -o 2.90.2.1:2.90.2.2 gram.c
cvs admin -o 2.89: gram.c
cd ../../interfaces/ecpg/preproc
cvs admin -o 1.5.2.1:1.5.2.2 pgc.c
cvs admin -o 1.3: pgc.c
cvs admin -o 1.11.2.1:1.11.2.2 preproc.c
cvs admin -o 1.7: preproc.c

I would assume cvs just runs rcs commands behind the scenes, but I
confess knowing way too little about that stuff to be sure ;)

I'll be happy to re-run with the rcs commands instead.

Yes, it's fine - just please be sure to remove the repository once
we're done with the "master conversion", so people don't end up
accidentally cloning an incorrect one :D
