Follow-up Comment #14, patch #4573 (project cvs): Which 100s of companies would those be? Perhaps some of their representatives would care to pipe up and provide example use cases as well as explaining why they can't ask their developers to stop changing keyword values? Anyhow, I am still against this for the reasons I stated before - I believe this patch implements behavior totally contrary to at least a decade of CVS development philosophy as I understand it. Data should never be thrown away if we can help it (exempting legacy support for rcs commands like `cvs admin -o', though I really don't even like those). _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?func=detailitem&item_id=4573> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.nongnu.org/
