Yes, isn't there also a practical use for this in the source trees of the various *BSDs who import each other's sources (but I don't know if it's useful for that). > Totay I logged into one of our products and got this message: > > + sudo chroot /voicelog/src su -l sobomax > This fortune brought to you by: > $FreeBSD: 3325fdce090fbf738dcb1f8535d16217789cbe4e $ > > I did not know such a fortune ever existed, it has probably been > developed around a long-long time ago before git or even linux > existed. Just as many other more useful features around the same idea. This on the other hand looks both neat and a bit scary, so something that previously left "$FreeBSD$" alone started expanding it? Hrm, I guess since you need to set "ident" it's no big deal. But I wonder if we'll see any downstream breakage for people who opt-in to this, who have code they didn't know about that expects an RCS/CVS version, and suddenly gets a SHA-1-sized hex string instead :)
