RCS 5.7 delete all revs bug

[John Kelly]

This bug is NOT in 5.6 or 5.8.1, only 5.7. But I use
RCS on DOS and don't care about any release after 5.7.

Here's the fix pasted inline, but who knows
about the gmail formatting. I will attach the
diff to try and preserve the tabs.



fix -o1.1: (delete all revs) bug
skip fastcopy() when Head == null
it's extra junk now, and we don't
want it trashing our clean repo
