I take it you mean $Header$ ? I would prefer them to be preserved, but I'm willing to lose them if absolutely necessary.
However, I think we need to keep some form of version identification in each file. Maybe there is some way that the differencing can be filtered to ignore changes in CVS tags, and thus make the merge job easier. Do you use Eclipse for difference checking?

I also ban cvs header tags inside of files. We don't use them and they also make merges tedious. -- Michael Stover <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Apache Software Foundation --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
