Currently, I've got a perl script that modifies the Id line in a smudge filter: [filter "ident-line"] smudge = /usr/local/bin/githook_ident-filter.pl %f The problem I've noticed with smudge filters is that it leaves the repo dirty. How do I fix this? I am basically trying to replicate the behavior of CVS or SVN $Id$ line here. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
