You did the right thing. All of the old SCCS keywords will be ripped out after the gate itself converts to Mercurial. They don't do anything, and there's no reasonable way to insert anything equivalent for Mercurial. (Hg doesn't have per-file version numbers or expanding keywords like SCCS or RCS.) I didn't find that in the transition document, and I'm not sure why. The folks writing those documents have used hg for a while, and perhaps it just seemed too "obvious" -- though it's not for someone with a Teamware background. It probably should be there. For now, until the transition, leave them in place as they are, and do *NOT* build any code that relies on those strings. (Such code was almost invariably kludgey anyway.) -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
