RE: Adding copyright to all files automatically when added for thefirst time.

To the best of my knowledge you cannot do this with CVS.

 

In CVSNT (gpl like cvs, runs on linux/unix/windows/mac etc) handles this via the keywords admin file:

Subject: Adding copyright to all files automatically when added for thefirst time.

Hi All,

 

   I have a small problem where I want to add some content(say Copyright) to all the files which are added for the first time.

 

   I can copy the copyright content manually to all new files but this is tedious manual task and even if the copyright changes,

   its a big problem to update all the files.

 

   So is there a way to add something like $copyright in the new file and it will be substituted from a file automatically when a new

   file is added to the CVS.

   (example : $copyright - defined copyright.h)

 

   $Id means it adds the user name who modified the file each time :) So I want something like that.

 

Thanks,

Manoj
