Folks,
I want to put the following literal string in my man page for mergemaster:
#DIFF_OPTIONS='-I$FreeBSD:.*[$]' # Ignores CVS Id tags
Unfortunately, cvs is expanding that as a cvs id tag. I DO want to expand
the actual cvs id tag for this file, so I don't want to use the -ko
option. Any other ideas? In case it matters, the text in question is with
.Bd -literal.
Note, I don't think that enclosing the first $ in [] will work either,
since when I tried the above in my most recent commit, cvs ignored the
first [, and left the ] on at the end of the string.
Thanks,
Doug
