(Cases include ports/9667 and ports/9731). For example: -# $Id: Makefile,v 1.1.1.1 1999/01/26 03:25:16 steve Exp $ +# $Id$ # Apparently, the $Id$ tag should not be changed: CVS does it automatically. However, I found no mention of this in the "Porting" section of the Handbook. This should be mentioned, to help avoid this mistake. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: I think this patch is right - please check the SGML, though! --- porting.sgml.orig Sat Jan 23 16:51:30 1999 +++ porting.sgml Sat Jan 30 12:01:48 1999 @@ -2310,7 +2310,8 @@ # # $Id$ [ ^^^^ This will be automatically replaced with RCS ID string by CVS - when it is committed to our repository.] + when it is committed to our repository.
