Infra left the $Id$ stubs in place for this use case, but did not turn |
| 10 |
on global expansion due to the related issue mentioned in the bug: |
| 11 |
CVS allows easy individual file control of disabling keyword expansion |
| 12 |
(and setting a file as binary which also implicitly disables keyword |
| 13 |
expansion). |
| 14 |
We'd have to find all of those files and explicitly create .gitattribute |
| 15 |
files, per directory, for them. |
