Initial (failed) checkin to SCCS of a remote file resulted in remote file being
deleted and localthe associated tramp buffer too!
An empty SCCS subdirectory existed where the file resided. I attempted to place the
file under SCCS with C-x v v (vc-next-action).
Basically, the admin command was passed -i/r@METHOD:HOST:/PATH/TO/FILE/ where -iFILE
would suffice. Compounding the problem, the error wasn't noticed and the file and
buffer destroyed.
Here's a lightly edited excerpt from the *debug* tramp/scpx HOST* buffer (my line
numbering):

A few observations:
1) The admin command at line [5] was improperly constructed with the
-i option being passed a filename still in remote syntax.
2) The error code was noted on line [6]
This is where it begans to unravel. I'd be happy for VC or tramp
(who's in charge at this point in the sequence?) to simply fail.
3) Line [7] is where evil doings begin: Who (tramp or VC?) put that
2nd echo $? in there? Did tramp confuse VC by turning $? from 1 to
0? Maybe tramp_set_exit_status need return $? in addition to
encoding it???
Since the error at [5] was masked by combination of [6-7], line[8]
happily and 'safely' removes the original file. Right around this
time, the emacs buffer is 'safely' discarded as well in preparation
for reading the file back from SCCS where it is presumed now to be
stored.
4) Skip ahead to the sequence at lines [16-18] and you see the same
pattern: A failed VC command (note the missing filename!), followed
by tramp_set_exit_status duly noting the failure but causing $? to
be cleared.
I'll be a little wary of remote VC until we get a resolution. I
couldn't be happier with the basic function provided by tramp itself.
Many thanks to the development community!!!
