FWIW, I've used the $Header $ to determine if a person is looking at the latest |
| 7 |
greatest or needs to synch up first (in particular when I was dealing with an |
| 8 |
eclass bug). Very useful when dealing with bugs and you need to confirm that the |
| 9 |
user is completely synch'd up and looking at a current tree or not (because just |
| 10 |
asking when the last time they synch'd doesn't help). |
