No support for SCCS keywords, or anything like them, in files.
This is something we're working on. Rich Lowe and I (and possibly
others) took passes are keyword filtering, though Rich did more
recent work - my attempt was a long time ago. We both hit roadblocks
though; and I set my attempt aside to work on more pressing matters.
What are you hoping to accomplish?
We'd initially taken a pass at just porting over the existing SCCS
keywords verbatim.
We would? That's not what was said previously on this alias. It's
also, to the best of my knowledge, not possible.
SCCS keywords are expanded on get, collapsed on delget.
However, there's the sccs edit step which get's your file with keywords
unexpanded, for editing. Thus SCCS-style keywords do not have to be
reversible, there is no step in the process that requires the expansion
to be reversed.
Mercurial, however, does not operate this way. There is no 'edit'
step, and any keyword format used, as best I can tell *MUST* be reversible.
