RCS wouldn't help you in that situation, specifically when there is a single
copy of a file that multiple people are editing.  Each person would
overwrite other people's changes with each save.

Now, if everyone had their own working copy, RCS would help, and changes
from multiple simultaneous edits could be merged.  But the files that
sys-admins need to muck with typically need to be in a certain place...
