    Sorry, I can't help you. Looking on your toughts about all those
    RCSs I can say you have a big problem to find the one ;-)

    Honestly, you are looking for user friendly (GUI) interface to
    some RCS and no matter what kind of RCS is behind this UI.
    If you see CVS syntax to difficult or file names or repository structure
    not matching your needs - or better - your imagination of it,
    I bet you need user friendly interface which hides all those
    difficulties.

    If you want to work with RCS as i.e. programmer and store
    your codes in repositories I don't think you need to know and
    even agree with RCS internalls.
    Just use it. I.e. create CVS repos and use WinCVS client and
    you will see that working with CVS can be very simple.

    ...or may be write your own RCS which could fulfill your
    requirements.

    Best regards
