+#### `rcs_preprevert($)`
+
+This is called by the revert web interface. It is passed a RCS-specific
+change ID, and should determine what the effects would be of reverting
+that change, and return the same data structure as `rcs_receive`.
+
+Like `rcs_receive`, it should do whatever sanity checks are appropriate
+for the RCS to limit changes to safe changes, and die if a change would
+be unsafe to revert.
+
+#### `rcs_revert(@)`
+
+This is called by the revert web interface. It is passed a named
+parameter rev that is the RCS-specific change ID to revert.
+
+Addition named parameters: `message`, and `session` (optional).
+
+It should try to revert the specified rev, which includes committing
+the reversion, and returns undef on _success_ and an error message
+on failure.
+
+#### `rcs_showpatch(@)`
+
+This is passed a named parameter rev that is a RCS-specific
+change ID. It should generate a diff-style patch showing the changes
+made and return it.
