Hello,

I have filed a bug report for the 2 expanded occurences of $Date in
checkstyle.xml:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-513

As for the ID, you dont need them to diff sources, the diff will show
differences anyway.

BTW: I would be happy to be able to work with Git as I have no svn
experience.

Gruss
Bernd
