I think I got this one figured out. It looks like Subversion is different from CVS in that it does not store files on the server with keywords expanded (which was totally throwing me off). In CVS we had this stored on the server (http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/incubator-geronimo/etc/maven.xml? view=markup):
<!-- $Revision: 1.34 $ $Date: 2004/09/07 02:35:13 $ -->
and in subversion we get this (http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/geronimo/trunk/etc/maven.xml? rev=45828&root=Apache-SVN&view=markup):
<!-- $Rev$ $Date$ -->

I see the same as the one above, i.e.

<!-- $Revision: 1.34 $ $Date: 2004/09/07 02:35:13 $ -->

So, either we look at different files or I do not fully understand your explanation :(

I'm sorry. Bad link... here is the correct one:

http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/geronimo/trunk/etc/maven.xml? rev=45918&root=Apache-SVN&view=markup

svn propset svn:keywords "author date id rev" files
Well we only really need date and rev, but might as well have the others.

That one was discussed before and we decided to have *only* rev and date. I don't see any value in having them in the source code again.


Anyone with commit want to take a shot at make these changes?

As said above, I don't understand what would have to be done, so can't help :(

There are two steps:

1) change all places in our code where we have $Revsiosn$ to $Rev$
2) add the rev keyword to the list of keywords to expanded by subversion (must be done on a file by file basis)
