In RCS version 5 (to be released soon), if the original file was checked out via default keyword expansion at the sender's site, and checked in via `ci -k' at the receiver's site, then `co' will retrieve the same file. However, the real world is not always this ideal; for example, the sender may be using an older version of RCS. So in RCS version 5, `co' has a new `-ko' option that retrieves exactly the file you checked in.
