It certainly seems that --old and --new are redundant. Also, you could consider stealing some ideas from Perforce, where the command would be something like p4 diff [EMAIL PROTECTED] file.c and the RCS figures out how to map the label to the repository version. Basically, the # and @ characters are special; # is used to introduce a revision number (the global revision number), and a number of things can follow @, like a label, or a date.
