i, too, was puzzled by this, and ended up concluding that the "$Name $" trick didn't work. further discussions on IRC and some playing around revealed that, at least in my case, it only worked after i had both committed that to the .info file, then pulled a completely fresh checkout of the module (checkout, not update!). i think the deal is that CVS name expansion doesn't work for updates? perhaps Derek will grace us with the actual mechanics... :) it might be a good idea to get something in the official doc about how the name expansion works exactly, because it's certainly not self- evident. :) chad On Dec 21, 2006, at 8:20 AM, Ken Rickard wrote:
OK, now I'm confused, since the standard changed slightly since I wrote my .info file.
I changed the version string to version = "$Name" and committed the change.
When I then run cvs update, the string in the info file returns as:
version = "$Name: $"
I assume that this is by design and I should not worry about it. But it does not conform to the documentation.
