IMO, the "revision" of a word document or any other document can and should be maintained independent of the version control system revision numbering scheme. Keyword expansion in binaries has the potential to corrupt so it's not really an option anyway, not even with PVCS.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jorgensen, Steven Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2005 12:31 PM To: info-cvs@gnu.org Subject: More keyword expansion questions I have another keyword expansion related question. We are version controlling some Microsoft office documents along with our source code, and would like to use a keyword expansion in those documents so users can see what revision they are looking at. This can be setup, but you must know ahead of time the length the text will be. On another project that used pvcs, they solved this issue by specifying that any keywords when expanded would take a fix set of space, using blanks to make up for any characters that the keyword didn't need. Is there any way to do this in CVS? Thanks for any help.
