I just wanted to start a discussion on what format we want to use for keywords in ON. Currently, the #ident we use is something akin to:

# ident "%Z%%M% %I%     %E% SMI"

which expands out to something like:

# ident "@(#)Makefile.master    1.204   06/04/13 SMI"

Currently, I've got a Mercurial python hook that will expand $Id$ to something like:

$Id: fubar 9f7070beca6e 2006-05-23 stevel $

so my proposal is to adopt a #ident syntax of:

# ident $Id$ SMI.

What do people think of this? It's easy enough to change the format, I'd just like to start getting this settled as its one of the points we'll need to address in the conversion from Teamware to Mercurial.

I prefer the $Id$ syntax, since it's also supported under Subversion.

cheers,
steve
