I'll accept a patch for it only if it's optional :) Just the thought of having to do keyword (un)expansion in git-svn is scary; so I'm not willing to do it myself. I'm mainly uncomfortable with how it'll interact with dcommit usage, but since your use case seems to be fetch-only; you may just disable dcommit if keyword expansion is enabled if it's too painful to figure out the unexpansion... -- Eric Wong -- 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
