This is how all the VC backends work, and having the RCS one work the
same way seems pretty logical to me.  (And when giving it a parent
directory, it'll ask whether 

 Create RCS subdirectory? (y or n) y

bug report.  If there's more to be done here, please respond to the
debbugs address and we'll reopen.
