This module provides a means to add keyword expansion of the following standard RCS tags to your git projects:
$Id$
$Date$
$File$
$Author$
$Revision$
$Source$
The mechanism used are filters. The smudge filter is run on checkout, and the clean filter is run on commit. The tags are only expanded on the local disk, not in the repository itself.
To start, you need to add the following to ~/.gitconfig:
[filter "rcs-keywords"] clean = .git_filters/rcs-keywords.clean smudge = .git_filters/rcs-keywords.smudge %f
Then, to add keyword expansion, simply add these files to your project:
Note: This feature is known not to work in git 1.6.2.2 and 1.7.3.*, and verified to work in git 1.7.4.4 and 1.7.4.msysgit.0
