A couple of days ago I posted that I was converting to git. Well,
that was not the completely truth. I already had switched to git.
But what I didn’t like was the fact that git doesn’t support
keyword-expansion and therefore there’s no way of knowing what version of the
file you are editing. I do like this in CVS and SVN, so I implemented it
in a script called vigit.
What vigit does is let you edit a file and when you quit it (after saving of
course) it commits the file to git, get’s the git-hash and replaces this
in the file (if it’s already there).
The only drawback is that the files in git are not identical to the ones on
disk. I have to find a solution for this.
When you use the header script, this will give you a box with all the supported
keywords. This box looks similar to:
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
