I use it to make deltas of changes made in the tree, and apply those |
| 11 |
deltas on the overlay I'm using. Without $Header: $ there I have no way |
| 12 |
to actually see which version I'm dealing with, so which revisions to |
| 13 |
retrieve for differences. |
| 14 |
For that reason, I prefer as much files as possible in the tree to have |
| 15 |
a $Header: $ somewhere, so I can easily sync, keeping my local changes. |
