Their Revision members are however only populated with the members Revision->revision, Revision->branch, Revision->time, Revision->author, Revision->state, Revision->branches, Revision->rcs_next, Revision->ancestor and Revision->next.

Parameter `raw`

  The tokenized RCS file, with admin section removed. (See parse_admin_section.)

Parameter `max_revisions`
