[Vim-latex-devel] date stamps

[Benji F. <be...@me...>]

      IIRC, our date stamps caused problems the last time that Srinath 
merged a branch into the main trunk.  Should we just delete the "Last 
Change" lines?  The last few commits (from Srinath) continue to show these.

IIRC I was the only who said no to removing "Last Change". I am no
longer against it.

OK! One of these days, I will get around to removing all the time stamp
strings... The main problem I had with time stamps was not that they
cluttered the diff (its an annoyance but not a big deal). But the major
problem is that they sometimes lead to spurious revisions.

      Right, the clutter in the diff is not enough of a problem to be 
worth fixing, but spurious revisions are.  The next time I do a commit, 
I will (if I remember) remove the "Last Change" line.

I have removed it in the last file I commited...

Also, some of my last few commit messages to the vim-latex-cvs list have
been pretty bad. Thats because I am still learning the little oddities
of the cvscommand.vim plugin. A nice thing in the plugin is that you can
write a log message in a vim window instead of on the command line like
in cvsmenu.vim... However, a strange feature is that the log gets
processed immediately upon a :w. Because I am a very frequent saver
(comes from my working on some really unreliable machines in the past),
I sometimes end up sending the log messags inadvertantly.

I have always repaired such faulty commits with a '

$ cvs admin -m :"`cat /tmp/log.txt`" <filename>

later, but the new commit message will not show in the list... So when
in doubt about a screwed up commit message, please check the actual log
message not the one in the mailing list...

Thanks,

Srinath
