[BLU/Officers] source control on cheyenne

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

I committed everything. You would need to compare the current version to
a prior commit.
http://book.git-scm.com/3_comparing_commits_-_git_diff.html
git diff [options] [<commit>] [--] [<path>...]
Git log will show you the commits.
This will show all changes since the previous 2 commits.
git diff 88f057dc4179138e7bd618e71c7849aa5c1dfcb9 -- blu.org

Remember that git is now the preferred source control.
While RCS worked, since you created cheyenne, you did not set up RCS, I
set up git.
