(Besides I would prefer > $Date$ more but I can live with $Id$ I guess ;) ). I have worked on this topic quite a bit to fix issues in git-p4. There is no direct way to get this $Id$ expansion in git, however you can use a simple pre-commit hook (alpha state, more a proof of concept that happens to work for me) #!/usr/bin/env bash for file in `git diff-index --name-only --diff-filter=AM HEAD` ; do perl -pi -e 's/(\$[ \t]*Id)(.*)([ \t]*\$)/"\$Id: git ".time()." \$"/e' ${file} git add ${file} > /dev/null done -dhruva -- Contents reflect my personal views only! -- 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
