Subject: Heads up: Mercurial: What to expect: Keywords changes

As Steve described in a heads up note [1] one year ago, user-visible SCCS 
keywords are going away.

Because, really, how informative is the string "%I%" to most users?

We (the SCM Migration project team and several other subject matter 
experts in various areas) are working on bugs to get rid of all of the 
non-ident keywords usage.  Some of those bug fixes are already integrated, 
some are coming this evening, many will be part of the SCM project wad 
tomorrow morning, and it looks like a couple of the larger wads will hit 
later this week.

But that's beside the point.  What you need to know is that you should get 
rid of all SCCS keywords, including any "ident" lines, in any file you 
push to the Mercurial gate.

Val also describes this in the RTI Nits page [2]. And you would never push 
without following the guidelines there, would you?
