Well, suppose you edit the file and add a line with a '$Rvision' marker, misspelled. You commit that, the bad marker goes in the repository. You check out or update, the keyword is not expanded/clobbered because of the spelling error. The information you need is still present in the repository and you can still see it, e.g. with 'cvs annotate', but someone will have to edit the file and manually correct the bad line. My suggestion was to use a spelling that can be checked by a utility, and to enforce that check in a commitinfo hook. -- pa at panix dot com _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
