[Doxygen-develop] Feature Request: A small change would make doxygen fit for incremental SVN updates

[Thomas T. <dox...@th...>]

Hello,

We are using doxygen quite successfully in our project, thanks for a 
great tool!

I have a little feature request that could probably be implemented 
almost instantly. We need to store the doxygen HTML output in a 
Subversion repository, since users do not want to create the 
documentation for themselves and we distribute the code via SVN, so we 
check the HTML files produced by doxygen into the SVN repository. I know 
SVN is not a conventional place to put documentation, but in our project 
it is the only convenient way to keep it updated.

However, doxygen even for unchanged pages produces new files that are 
not identical in content (mainly the footer), so each time the 
documentation needs to be reproduced, the whole documentation is 
uploaded to the SVN server. So my request is to make an option to 
disable these "Generated on <date> <tim> for <project> by <doxygen 
version>" footers from the files so they do no longer differ in content 
and Subversion will recognize them as same.

That would really be a relief!

Thanks,
Thomas
