System name:		medusa
Type and version:	CVAXSTAR 6.4R (2 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?
	Not checkin an unchanged file

What's wrong:
	The file was removed eventhough I said to abort.

What should have happened:
	The file should have remained.

medusa% ci Makefile
RCS/Makefile,v  <--  Makefile
new revision: 1.3; previous revision: 1.2
File Makefile is unchanged with respect to revision 1.2
checkin anyway? [ny](n): n
checkin aborted; Makefile deleted.

The file was really gone...

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	Quickly scanning the ci man page makes no reference of this. (I
assume this happened cause of ci and not "ci -u")
