Since you have opened this topic to make a request with the problem, I have a problem for which I need $Id$ expansion. The git-p4 tool does not record contents in $Id$. When I try to submit from git to p4 using git-p4, it does a 'p4 sync' which brings in modified files with $Id$ changes. When git-p4 tries to apply patches, it would not have recorded the change in $Id$. If there was a mechanism to make $Id$ change and tracked in git, it would have recorded a change as a hunk and the patch would have applied cleanly. I have posted this problem earlier and also on the #git channel. Hope to see some traction. with best regards, 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
