I missed that config file. OTOH, there is http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/CVSROOT/options in support of the tagexpand approach. To be (even more) honest, I have a strong desire *not* to be a CVS expert. Indeed :-) Since switching over to Mercurial, my interest in CVS has been somewhat cursory, as well.

My questions: 1. How is it possible to include a sub-path in the CVS file field, but not the absolute path of the file? I think you configure that with $CVSHeader$ instead of $Header$. Or maybe the other way around... 2. How is it possible to change $Id$ or $Header$ to a custom string, let's say the name of a company or a project, by not breaking (!) the CVS compatibility (no s/Header/Foobar/). The CVSROOT/config file supports LocalKeyword. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Use the `CVSHeader' keyword instead of `Header'. The CVSHeader keyword expands to the relative path of the file in the CVS repository. See the CVS manual at http://cvsman.com/cvs-1.12.12/cvs_100.php 2. How is it possible to change $Id$ or $Header$ to a custom string, let's say the name of a company or a project, by not breaking (!) the CVS compatibility (no s/Header/Foobar/). Example for goal: $StupidProject: src/mouse/beep.pl,v 1.2.4 2008/16/32 04:08:16 bob Exp $ CVS checkout `CVSROOT'. Create a file called `options' in the working copy of CVSROOT with the following contents: tag=StupidProject=CVSHeader tagexpand=iStupidProject CVS add and commit `options'. Now, only the `StupidProject' keyword will be expanded, leaving other keywords unexpanded.
