Subject: Are RCS ID's bad?
Date: Thu, 09 Aug 2001 11:59:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3B72DD76.2010609@cygnus.com> (raw)
Hello,
I'm considering deleting any line containing something like:
$Id: .... $
($Date: ..$; ....) from the GDB source tree. They make a right mess of
merges, diffs, compares and the like.
Can anyone come up with a reason to retain these?
GDB has gdb/version.in as a revision identifier. Going by recent
e-mail's this is proving very effective - people are identifying GDB
snapshots and checkouts by date (although sometimes the quoted dates are
backwards :-)
Andrew
