[sleuthkit-developers] Date Keyword Expansion

[Brian C. <ca...@sl...>]

I'm in the process of migrating from CVS to SVN and will be making  
the repository public. One difference that I have found between CVS  
and SVN is the handling of keyword expansion.  SVN seems to require  
that you configure each file for keyword expansion. The TSK/autopsy  
code currently has the $Date$ keyword in each file.

I'm not sure if I have ever used the $Date$ keyword in practice and  
it always forces me to rebuild a lot of files when I checkin a .h  
file. It seems error-prone to make sure that every file has the  
keyword expansion setting enabled. Any arguments on why I should keep  
it around?
