Description Jesse Glick 2011-03-04 17:07:03 UTC

I have https://github.com/apache/maven-3.git checked out at maven-3.0.3; git status confirms that it is "clean". Yet e.g. RuntimeInfo.java in Maven Settings has

 * @version $Id: c0480a60ce4db971fb5f767559b76de5e9b4e3bd $

and this is displayed as a modified line in the editor, the diff window, the Projects tab, etc. So most of the open modules are displayed as edited in Projects when in fact they are not.

See .gitattributes:

*.java             ident

Comment 1 Ondrej Vrabec 2011-03-07 10:47:52 UTC

Support of gitattributes is missing in JGit. There's a draft in their review tool, however it's not certain when it could be finished:

http://egit.eclipse.org/r/#change,1615

Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2011-03-07 15:07:41 UTC

Those changes do not look to interpret ident anyway.

In the meantime I will propose removing $Id$ from Maven sources - ill-advised holdover from CVS, I guess.
