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
