No, revision 1.12 does not always follow 1.11, if I would have been working in a release branch this could have been version 1.11.3.1 (First patch of 3rd branch of this file). > Most users will see at most the final source file and > won't want to know where it was in ncvs. There is a direct 1:1 mapping from this message to source tree location. Simply drop /home/ncvs. I think this is a minor nit that we can live with. > The won't be able to see > the Id in too many cases. man.c doesn't have one, at least in > revision 1.11 :-). I am aware of that, I don't want to go $Id$ the whole tree right now or in the near future. I would like to see the $FreeBSD$ thing reinacted (possible as a standard rcs add on option for site specific keywords that can be configed via a file instead of source patches, as it seems XFree, NetBSD and a few other folks do this). It was sad that it was disabled, but I was not able to stop this when it happened as I was on the road. It was disabled because of one small place that cvs did not get patched to handle it (cvs diff). -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD
