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

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 [email protected] 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
