Question

Whenever a new topic is created, the protection on the newly created file is set to -r--r--r--. This messes up the revision logging when the topic is changed. The error log says

ci: %FILENAME%: No such file or directory

Perhaps I made an error when applying the RcsNonStrictLocking patch?

Wait, the error log would seem to indicate that the problem is that the FILENAME variable isn't being expanded to its value. What could be causing that? ...I'm not so sure that the file protection has anything to do with this.

File protection does not seem to be the problem, since I set up a cron job to periodically set all protections to -rw-r--r--. I am moving my question to RCSNotTrackingChangesOrViews which more closely reflects the real problem: no revision logging.
