version-control-keywords

I want to add svn properties (like svn:keyword=Id Date Rev Author) to files upon commits of new files. For this to work there may be two main options: Client-side: altering the autoprops in the svn client configuration Server-side: do some magic with commit-hooks The client side is not always desirable, as control over the client set up is needed.

Some time ago I was forced to move to Git and just wondering is there's something similar to Subversion's keyword substitution in Git? ShellFish Solution Well, you could easily implement such a feature yourself. Basically I embedded the commit
