8 In the 2014-10-14 meeting, there was the following decision under the
9 "Git Migration Issues" topic:
10
11 Can we drop CVS headers post-migration?
12
13 Aye: blueness, creffett (proxy for ulm), dberkholz, dilfridge,
14 radhermit, rich0, williamh

16 This was again briefly discussed in the 2016-04-10 meeting (following
17 a discussion in the gentoo-dev mailing list) and in the 2016-11-13
18 meeting (with respect to a repoman check for the ebuild header).
19
20 Since there appear to be doubts how to interpret above mentioned
21 decision, I would like to ask the Council to clarify the following
22 points:
23
24 a) Are $Id$ and $Header$ lines to be removed in the gentoo repository?
25
26 b) Does this only apply to ebuilds and eclasses, or also to other
27 files in the tree, e.g., metadata, profiles, and files in FILESDIR
28 other than patches (like init scripts)?
29
30 c) Should these lines be removed in one go, or should we enable a
31 repoman check and have them fade out over time?
32
33 d) Should git expansion of $Id$ be enabled (i.e., ident in git
34 attributes)?
