Hi! While convincing my employer to convert to Git, I've ran into the old RCS keyword expansion problem again. They have files that they need to export to a customer, without revision history, but they need to embed an identifier that can tell them which version of the file it was. So, I tried setting up a .gitattributes file: * ident and a simple test perl script that would show me the ident: #!/usr/bin/perl print 'I am $Id$', "\n"; but I cannot figure out how to get it to actually expand the $Id$. I tried doing "git checkout test.perl", I tried "git clone" to get a new copy of the repository, but still it showed only "$Id$". I found that "git archive" *does* work. -- \\// Peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/ -- 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
