I'm in a quandary.
I like using CVS/RCS keywords like $Header: $
But, since I started using C++, I have been plagued
by long build times. (Yes, I've read Lakos.)
To the point where I am seriously considering
removing CVS keywords from my files,
or at least disabling them with -ko,
just to avoid the file being modified after
a CVS checkin, requiring a remake.
But I like using CVS keywords like $Header: $.
Not just in releases, but in everyday code.
Q: does anyone have any scripts or tools that
allow the CVS keywords to remain embedded
and expanded, but which backdates the file
modification time if the only thing that changed
was an RCS keyword value in a comment?
