So, after waiting many days to see if the Web Team member in question
would fix this problem, I've fixed it. Here's how:
$ cd /home/httpd/html
$ cp events.html /tmp #Safety copy, to check back in later.
$ co -l events.html #RCS checkout, setting lock. Overwrites
./events.html .
$ cp /tmp/events.html .
$ ci -u events.html #RCS checkin, unlocking.
If I had to bet how the editing party caused that problem, I'd speculate
her having omitted the "-l" (lock) flag during checkout. Please be
careful about that -- and when in doubt, ask help.
There's really not much to it, though:
co -l [foo]
(Edit the file.)
ci -u [foo]
