IIRC, the changes I needed to make was to ensure that the files did not get their keyword expanded again by RCS (adding -ko mode; this also survives into Git), since the revision numbers are off-by-one in RCS compared to PVCS (RCS starts at 1.1, PVCS at 1.0). I also had to extend the list of binary file types in the PVCS-to-RCS script to cover all the binary files that were checked in.
