        !             3: rcsmerge \- merge RCS revisions
        !             4: .SH SYNOPSIS
        !             5: \fBrcsmerge\fR \fB-r\fIrev1\fR [ \fB-r\fIrev2\fR ] [ \fB-p\fR ] file
        !             6: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !             7: .I Rcsmerge
        !             8: incorporates the changes between \fIrev1\fR and \fIrev2\fR of an
        !             9: RCS file into the corresponding working file. If \fB-p\fR is given, the result
        !            10: is printed on the std. output, otherwise the result overwrites the
        !            11: working file.
        !            12: .PP
        !            13: A file name ending in ',v' is an RCS file name, otherwise a
        !            14: working file name. \fIMerge\fR derives the working file name from the RCS
        !            15: file name and vice versa, as explained in \fIco\fR (1). A pair consisting
        !            16: of both an RCS and a working file name may also be specified.
        !            17: .PP
        !            18: \fIRev1\fR may not be omitted. If \fIrev2\fR is omitted, the latest
        !            19: revision on the trunk is assumed.
        !            20: Both \fIrev1\fR and \fIrev2\fR may be given numerically or symbolically.
        !            21: .PP
        !            22: \fIRcsmerge\fR prints a warning if there are overlaps, and delimits
        !            23: the overlapping regions as explained in \fIco -j\fR.
        !            24: The command is useful for incorporating changes into a checked-out revision.
        !            25: .SH EXAMPLES
        !            26: Suppose you have released revision 2.8 of f.c. Assume
        !            27: furthermore that you just completed revision 3.4, when you receive
        !            28: updates to release 2.8 from someone else.
        !            29: To combine the updates to 2.8 and your changes between 2.8 and 3.4,
        !            30: put the updates to 2.8 into file f.c and execute
        !            31: .sp
        !            32:         rcsmerge  -p  -r2.8  -r3.4  f.c  >f.merged.c
        !            33: .sp
        !            34: Then examine f.merged.c.
        !            35: Alternatively, if you want to save the updates to 2.8 in the RCS file,
        !            36: check them in as revision 2.8.1.1 and execute \fIco -j\fR:
        !            37: .sp
        !            38:         ci  -r2.8.1.1  f.c
        !            39:         co  -r3.4  -j2.8:2.8.1.1  f.c
        !            40: .sp
        !            41: As another example, the following command undoes the changes
        !            42: between revision 2.4 and 2.8 in your currently checked out revision
        !            43: in f.c.
        !            44: .sp
        !            45:         rcsmerge  -r2.8  -r2.4  f.c
        !            46: .sp
        !            47: Note the order of the arguments, and that f.c will be
        !            48: overwritten.
