Most things seem identical except for the RCS/CVS hold over of using
keyword expansions like '$Id'.  These seemed obsolete with SVN (yet
alone git) as the repository includes all source, as opposed to RCS/CVS
which operated on a file at a time.  With GIT/SVN, you have to work
really hard to mix up files.

For the Linux kernel, if a mixup version is detected the 'Id' has
'dirty' appended.  This would save on a lot of the 'RCSID()' strings
embedded everywhere.  With git/svn, the entire repo is a DB and it
doesn't make sense for people to get files out of sync...  If you do get
them out of sync, you are asking for trouble.

Anyways, the glade files seem to actually get the '$Id' to some property
which maybe a user can see.  Otherwise, the git repository seems
identical to me.

Thanks,
Bill Pringlemeir.
