> (vc-backend-revert): Use `co -f' instead of deleting the working file ourselves; that way, if `co' fails, we won't have deleted the working file. (vc-backend-steal): Don't delete the working file. Use `rcs -u -l', not `rcs -u ; rcs -l'; it's faster. Use vc-backend-dispatch -- the old code couldn't have possibly worked.
