[GUSDEV] Important Subversion Notes

[Michael S. <msa...@pc...>]

All,

An important note about using subversion-- For newly added files to the
repository, it will not automatically perform substitutions on keywords such
as $Id$ or $Revision$.  There are two ways to resolve this.

On a file by file basis:

svn propset svn:keywords "Id Revision" Filename

This will tell subversion to substitute Id and Revision for Filename.

If you want this by default (and I suggest you do!) than you can set it in
your subversion config:

emacs $HOME/.subversion/config

uncomment # enable-auto-props = yes

You may also wish to set an editor in this file (editor-cmd) if you have
been getting errors about that.

You'll need to update this file on every machine that you checkout from
subversion from.  (If you just use hera, zeus, and you're local linux
desktop, then you only need to do this on one of those).

Please let me know if you have any questions or difficulties setting this.
My apologies that this isn't something I can do server-side-- "it's a
feature, not a bug!"
