It seems Git and Mercurial just think keyword substitutions are't so

So if there were a report on that, I wonder it will be fixed.

Wonderful. So they knowingly distribute a client that does not conform to
the client/server agreement.

If we care enough to prevent these malformed commits from getting into our
repository, we can write a pre-commit hook to prevent them.

By the way, I also do not find $id$ is so useful. I just use it
because MacPorts Guide recommends it.

Thank you for abiding by the guideline.

Ryan, I find your communication style quite unfriendly here. I don't
see why Akira's considerately presented preference, which is different
from the one mp makes, deserves such a sarcastic reply.

If you drive away a single contributer by applying this style, you
have hurt the project more than anyone could by not adhering to some
minor guideline.

I haven't seen any issues from people using other (non-svn) clients to commit - afaik the $Id$ tag expansion is a server-side operation...

It's a client side operation. The client removes the characters after the d and before the $ when it sends the file to the server and adds the contents when it checks out or updates the file.

For example, look at this URL in a browser, not an svn client:

http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/java/jna/Portfile
