I was really (really, really) disappointed with XCode's file
difference tool. It's pretty basic. The big functional
disappointment is that it can't ignore CVS file tags (e.g.:
"$Revision: 1.6$") so every file is flagged as different.
Yeah. That is pretty bloody annoying, isn't it? I always strip
those particular markers out of source because they are really
terribly useless unless your software development process is
otherwise utterly broken ...
Yep, that needed to be said. I believe that they are used to show
off. See! I'm using code versioning.
In any case, it is easy to fix:
perl -pi -e 's/\$Id:.*\$//' *.[hcm]
er... I'm confused. I use CVS, but I don't see any tags _within my
files....?!
CVS doesn't add them. They are called keywords. Users can add them to
the files if the want and if found then CVS will insert the data
requested by the keyword at the time of checkin.
See the following for more information...
