- Note: This is my boss's question, so my apologies if I don't ask it well.
-
- When you initially create an SCCS file without identification keywords,
- sccs complains that you don't have any keywords and continues. If that
- file is checked out and modified such that identification keywords are
- now present (such as %M%), and then the file is checked back in, sccs
- *still* complains that no keywords are present. Furthermore, the
- identification keywords are not expanded as we would hope.
-
- Is there any way to get sccs to accept keywords after the inital creation
- of the SCCS file?
-
- We would create new SCCS files with the new keywords in place, but THE MAN
- has decided we ought to keep the history information we have been collecting
- so far.
