RE: [SPAM] - Removal of $Id$ - Email has different SMTP TO: and MIME TO: fields in the email addresses
I had noticed that...but having a revision number tells me what version
of a file I have.
I have had a problem lately with HiveMind that I have a snapshot and try
to figure out which revision number I need to patch something without
needing a bunch of other updates (yeah, if I just used CVS and was
always up-to-date I wouldn't have the problem, but I am a HiveMind user,
not developer.

To date, we've been very dilligent about putting $Id$ in our source
files.
I think that this is a mistake and am starting to remove them.
Why? As David Thomas points out in "Pragmattic Version Control", the
$Id$ tag adds no real
usefulness and the data therein is always available from CVS and/or the
IDE. On the other hand, it
causes pain whenever trying to merge versions of a file, such as porting
into our out of a branch.

Posted by "Howard M. Lewis Ship" <hl...@comcast.net>.
You're caught between being a true user (just have to know the fixed release number) and a
developer, who needs to know the file revision. Once HiveMind settles down into fixed releases, it
is possible to go from the release number (i.e., 1.0-beta-1) to a file revisions (i.e., 1.37) even
using the CVS Web access.
However, for someone who'se taken to the bleeding edge, you might just need to take one small extra
step and start pulling the code down via anonymous CVS. It's really no different than getting the
source drop.
