This is an "if it were me" response, so you can do it any way you
want to, and my doing it differently doesn't negate that :)

If it were me, I'd use CVS instead of RCS (it's just easier, also
more powerful and such).  I'd do my CVS checkout, file editing,
and CVS commits as a non-root user.  And I'd have a (probably
extremely simple) Makefile, so a "make install" as root would copy
the files from wherever I checked them out, to wherever they were
supposed to go, and set their ownerships and permissions and such
properly.
