Conflicts... Git and Mercurial cannot import Subversion $FreeBSD$ lines so far, and you may end up submitting patches that include unexpanded forms of the "$FreeBSD: xxxx $" text. These will fail to apply if they same patch touches nearby lines. I like Mercurial myself, but it's some times a pain to refresh patches that touch lines near "$FreeBSD$". > The only issue I do see is about '$FreeBSD$', but plain Subversion > clients shouldn't mess with it.
