[Quantlib-dev] Why I hate CVS tags

[Luigi B. <lui...@fa...>]

Hi all,
	annoyed as I am, I'll try and be pragmatic. So, let's compare figures:

a) How often did you actually look at the $Id$ cvs tag inside a source
    file? And how much time did you save by not doing "cvs status" instead?

b) How often having cvs tags into a file caused it to be touched upon
    committing it, thus tricking the makefile or the IDE into recompiling
    it again next time? (the file, and all dependent files, and all the
    examples and part of the test-suite...)
    How much time have you lost this way?

In my case, a/b << 1. Big time. So I say, down with $Id$ tags and stuff!
(hear, hear!) Let's remove the suckers, recompile the whole thing for the 
last unneeded time, drink and be merry! (hear, hear!)

Thoughts?

Bye,
	Luigi
