I think it's a resaonable request that unfortunately throws a wrench into the interoperability of RCS w/ itself (old) and other tools which have come to rely on the YYYY/MM/DD format, archaic as it may be.

Note that Id is not the only substituted keyword. There is also Date, Header and Log. Feel free to post a more detailed proposal that takes these into account. It should also address changes to the on-disk representation. if any.

I will set the status of this bug to Need Info and wait a few months for the detailed proposal.

Is it possible to use the ISO 8601 date format for the RSC Id line? http://www.iso.org/iso/home/standards/iso8601.htm

Rather than
2015/01/03 21:01:08
It can read
2015-01-03T21:01:08
or at least
2015-01-03 21:01:08

Of course, the usual maxim applies: be strict in what you emit, be generous in what you accept. Thanks, and happy new year!
