I've asked people to look at the $Id$ in their source file and confirm that it was a specific rev at least a dozen times since the start of the project 4 years ago. It has been a very valuable thing when I needed it. I do agree that it can be a pain, however, and I certainly understand the viewpoint that it is more trouble than it's worth. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
