This is not in fact possible.  The client can't make the server store 
arbitrary things in the server.

The only thing I can suggest is either switching servers mid-stream 
somehow or using local mode access to it (my betting is on local mode as 
you lose the protection of the protocol).  Even then I can't imagine how 
such a thing could appear in the RCS file.
