I just had checkout get an error, claiming that it left the file under
a different name.

revision 1.19 (locked)
co error: Can't rewrite RCS/qsupport.qc,v; saved in: RCS/,RCSnew007260

However, on investigation, it had deleted the regular copy of the
file, but left a new copy as ,RCSt1007260. It also left a lock on the
RCS file RCS/qsupport.qc,v
76 -rw-rw-r-- 1 mar 69684 Jul 1 12:32 ,RCSt1007260

I'm still not sure why co lost in the first place, as I was not out of
either disk space or quota. But the state it left things in did not
match what it claimed it did. I was able to recover everything by
deleting the lock file and doing the co again.
