Try sccs fix

If your last checked-in version of prog.c was 2.4 then
do 'sccs fix -r2.4 prog.c'.  The delta of 2.4 will be removed
from the history file and the new delta will be 2.4.
Personally I think there are two drawbacks: you _must_ supply
the -r option, and you can't fix the first version you checked
in.

Now while we're at it, does anybody think SCCS is better than
RCS or vice versa? Which system is newer/better? Is there a version
of make that supports RCS? If not, why?
RCS stands for Revision Control System by Walter F. Tichy.
