Commit comment
Is it possible to add the commit comment to the file itself.
I mean, suppose I have a CPP file, can I add my comment to this file automagically,
is there some too/hook available,
kind regards,

This has deliberately not been implemented. What you describe is the
behaviour of the CVS $Log$ keyword. This keyword is known to cause lots of
problems with branching and merging.

No. You cannot modify file contents in hooks. (although a post-commit hook
might trigger an extra commit which ends up with the same effect but can
cause an infinite loop..)
bye,
Erik.

There is more information (and other good reasons) if you look through
the mailing list archive, but:
1. Comments are available directly from the repository when needed
2. A prepended or appended log is guaranteed to cause merge conflicts
(at least with diff/patch)
3. find and replace and other user local edits make these comments get
out of sync.
4. it is possible to append these types of history logs via an external
script for the users who still need this functionality.
