If you want to use RCS instead of CVS then you can use the following shell scripts.
#!/bin/ksh
# cotree.sh (Check Out Tree shell script)
# cotree.sh - Check out the entire RCS directory
# Usage :
# This will get the all the directories
# unix> cotree.sh
#
# This will get just one single directory tree
# unix> cotree.sh <directory name>
# See also cofiles.sh

# Setting up RCS (Revision Control System)
# Install the RCS programs - which gives command co, ci, rcslog
# Create a rcs home directory where you want to put all the
# source code repository. Call this $RCSDIR=/home/rcs_version_control
# Setup up an environment variable RCSDIR=/home/rcs_version_control
# in $HOME/.profile file. Like -
# export RCSDIR=/home/rcs_version_control
# Create a directory structure under $RCSDIR and check in all your
# files using ci . See 'man ci'
# Now create a link from your home directory to your project
# under $RCSDIR
# cd $HOME
# mkdir $HOME/myproject
# cd $HOME/myproject
# and run this script to get all the files and directory tree
# cotree.sh
# This script will create the entire source-tree under user's
# home and also will have a soft link to RCS directories. Each
# user will run this script under his home directory.
