Re: [Bug-gnulib] $Id$

    $Id$ causes trouble each time someone puts such a file in CVS. And
    then when someone has forgotten to "cvs admin -ko" the file, the Id
    value is wrong and this wrong value gets propagated further.

It depends on how you define `wrong'.  I don't see anything "wrong" with
the same file having different $Id$ values in different source
hierarchies.  That's just the facts.  There is no need for cvs admin or
any special treatment.

    The whole idea about PACKAGE/lib/ChangeLog is that you can see at
    which date which file was copied from gnulib/lib. $Id$ is not an
    adequate replacement for this.

Certainly $Id$ is not an adequate replacement for ChangeLog (which I
forgot to update yesterday, oops).  Neither is ChangeLog an adequate
replacement for $Id$.


Anyway, since no one else likes the idea, I won't push it.  But I still
think it's a good idea :).
