I've filed an RFE in bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=138121

but note that I'm still trying to get my head around PCL-* and RC-* in
Emacs. It seems they do quite different jobs and are meant to be
complementary, but I'm really not sure.

The situation is complicated by the fact that the currently released
Emacs is so very far behind Emacs CVS, and the Emacs CVS seems to be the
authoritative location for rc-svn.el. It may be that rc-svn.el in Emacs
CVS also requires the Emacs CVS version of RC in general, which may in
turn depend on other things. I think you'd have to ask the emacs-devel
list to find out. Of course the whole thing would be much simpler if the
Emacs developers would actually release a new version, but I am
beginning to despair of that ever happening.

Best, Darren
