Hi all,

an alternative is to emulate CVS revisions by using keyword expansions.

  http://git-scm.com/book/en/Customizing-Git-Git-Attributes#Keyword-Expansion

Apparently this would need two sets of change:

 - Implement the Git configuration to emulate CVS revisions,
 - Change the scripts that get the revsision number, as they do this
   via CVS, not just by parsing the files.

Have a nice week-end,
