Hi all,

I'm diligently studying the "Pragmatic Version Control Using SVN" book
by Mike Mason to get a deeper knowledge of the SVN secrets.
I'm particularly interested in vendor branches and three way merging
(you can see my notes here
http://ofbizwiki.go-integral.com/Wiki.jsp?page=SVNTips).

In the book, the author advises against the use of keyword expansion in
source files with some good reasonings (and one of these is that with
keywords it's more difficult to merge different trunks).

I'd like to get your feedback about this subject.
Do you think that SVN keywords are useful in OFBiz? Would you consider
to remove them? (It could be easy now that we are in the process of
changing all the license header to the ASL2.0).

Thanks,

Jacopo

PS: I know that Vinay Agarwal has setup another wiki page about SVK
(http://ofbizwiki.go-integral.com/Wiki.jsp?page=AlternateSVNTips), but
I'm too lazy now to install a new tool ;-)
