You may want to check this out, keyword substitution only takes place if it is explicitly enabled: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.advanced.props.special.keywords.html I'd encourage you to download the PDF version of that book and do a search on any queries you might have. It's well written and an excellent reference. What kind of "normal" user are you referring to? Wouldn't users report problems with a particular version number of an application rather than the revision numbers of all the files that make up that application? If you have a fully checked out source tree subversion can give you revision information using the "svn info" command rather than polluting source files with it. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
