No, it doesn't, unless it finds a placeholder such as $Id.
Even then,
I don't think it does so for binary files.
Of course $Id would be necessary. But if CVS doesn't stamp the file, how do you want CVS to handle the revision marking?
CVS doesn't have to mark the file internally. Consider what happens if you try to check out a specific revision of a file - we can do that via the web, eg:
http://cvs.pgadmin.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/pgadmin3/src/ui/ar_SA/pgadmin 3.po?rev=1.20
Gets us rev 1.20.
In a similar was it shouldn't be difficult to query cvs for the latest version number of a given file.
First, do we really want to hammer CVS for each update check? I'd think having this in an "available versions" file is sufficient.
Second, the issue is not to retrieve a version, but to identify the version of the language file currently in use. We need an identifyable string inside the file for that.
