And its easy enough to find out which files have been worked on this year from git: $ TZ=UTC git whatchanged --date=local --since "1/1/2015" --name-only --oneline --pretty=format: | sort -u I dare say there's a bazaar equivalent. In case anybody is interested I've put a copy of the changed files as of the time of writing up at http://pastebin.com/7eM93EXw -- note that deleting a file counts as a modification and so removed files will appear in the list. >From here it should be possible to write a script which opens each file, looks for a copyright header at the top and checks to see if 2015 appears in it. Bit late in the day for me to have a crack at that now though... -- Blair
