Mon 02 May 2005 05:33:53 PM UTC, comment #1: I wouldn't hold your breath on this one; this information is easily obtainable other ways (note that monotone itself always knows what revision it was built from, without any use of $$-keywords), and we really really don't like munging files when we can help it. Monotone tends to treat your data as sacrosanct, unless you really explicitly ask it not to. |

Okay, summary is a bit overoptimistic, I believe it is generally not expected that MT could come up with sensible and useful revision or version tags (numerically incremental at least).

"I give you two lua.cc files, and you get 10 seconds to tell which is newer."
This question is ill-posed -- the answer might well be "neither".
I'm not quite sure I understand your use case here, either. If the script is only modified by people using version control, then yes, the one in monotone is fresh. If it's modified by people not using version control, then they're not going to update the $$-keywords either. Where in this do the version control keywords help you?
