NAME
bk keywords - list of RCS and SCCS keywords
DESCRIPTION
BitKeeper supports both the standard SCCS keywords, as well as most of
the RCS keywords. In addition, there are several keywords that are
unique to BitKeeper.
Note: All of the revision-oriented keywords (e.g. %I%) are useless in
BitKeeper since they may change as a result of a re-synchronization
that causes a branch creation. Use the %K% keyword when you need an
identifier that is unique to a specific revision-level of a file. The
%K% keyword is useful when tracking customer bugs. For example, a tech-
nician might ask the end-user to run the what command on an executable
to check the versions of the components that make up a program. The
person doing troubleshooting can then use the %K% keyword to track down
the specific source files that make up the executable.
Note: SCCS keyword expansion can cause problems in printf-like strings.
To deal with unwanted keyword expansion, BitKeeper can be given options
