Some "large footprint" changes have been made to the CVS tree and should be nearly finished. In a nutshell: - $Id$ and all other traditional rcs keywords are now preserved and no longer touched by our tools. - $FreeBSD$ is expanded as an alias for $CVSHeader$ (like $Header$ but with the CVSROOT path chopped off). - -ko expansion on certain parts of the tree has been turned off as it's no longer needed to preserve vendor $Id$s. This has a couple of important implications for people pulling down the cvs tree. First, make sure you are fetching at least the src-base collection as this expansion is controlled by CVSROOT/options. Without it, $FreeBSD$ won't get expanded. FYI it looks like this: tag=FreeBSD=CVSHeader tagexpand=iFreeBSD The first line sets the tag alias (ie: $FreeBSD$ is exapanded like $CVSHeader$), and the second line controls the expansion.. it means "i"nclude only $FreeBSD$ in the list of expanded keywords. These changes to cvs and rcs have their roots in code obtained a long time ago from the XFree86 folks. There have been a few hiccups along the way. cvsweb.cgi isn't quite doing the right thing yet, but that will be fixed shortly.
