bug#3916: 23.1.50; vc with rcs prompt for commit when it shouldn't.

[Thierry Volpiatto]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Hi,
here a little recipe of what i think is wrong:

1) find-file ==> my_file

2) C-x v i ==> register my_file under rcs

3) C-x v v ==> co my_file
   ==>No files remain to be committed

4) C-x v v ==> co again, ok my_file is no more read only and ready to
   edit.

5) make some changes to my_file (these changes are not finished i don't
   want to commit them).

6) For some reason, save buffer and kill buffer.

7) find-file ==> my_file:
   - The file is locked again (read-only) ==> why? (was not doing that
   before until file was commited or reverted)

8) Try to co the file:
   C-x v v ==> The commit buffer pop out and ask me to commit ==> Why?
   I don't want to commit these unfinished changes to my_file.

9) i must kill the commit buffer and toggle-read-only the file to be
   able to edit it.
   Even if i run the shell command co -l -q -f my_file (that add write
   permission on file) vc turn file read-only.

Note:This happen even with emacs -Q
