Do you really care whether any of the following files (the only ones affected in gnulib) contain an CVS/RCS-style $Id...$ string?
COPYING COPYING has no $Id$. What am I missing? config/srclist-update config/srclist.txt config/srclistvars.sh doc/Makefile doc/gnulib.texi I believe I am the one who inserted the $Id$'s in all the above files, and I don't mind if you remove them, although honestly I don't see a problem with them. Those files are not copied around between hierarchies, by their nature. gnulib-tool That's for Bruno, I expect. karl
