Hi, I am using git-svn to track an upstream SVN project, which I then package for Debian. Upstream uses $Id:$ all over the source code, but I am not ready to argue with him that this ought to be removed. The problem is that I build the Debian packages out of the git-svn tree, but use the published tarball. The latter has $Id:$ expanded in all files, while the git-svn tree does not - git-svn does not expand them. The result is that my Debianisation diff now reverts the expansion for every single file. This is quite ugly. I realise there are ways to prevent this, but I think that the cleanest would be if git-svn could be taught to expand svn:keywords. Is this something you could live with, Eric? I am willing to have a go at the patch, but my Perl-foo is crap, so I may well fail... -- martin | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/ "a mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems." -- paul erdös spamtraps: madduck.bogus@xxxxxxxxxxx
