[MIT-Scheme-devel] `git diff' shows RCS keyword cruft

[Taylor R Campbell]

Why does `git diff' show these changes, and how can I make it stop?  I
haven't touched the old RCS keyword lines, but `git pull' doesn't fix
them either.

% git diff -u
diff --git a/src/microcode/bkpt.h b/src/microcode/bkpt.h
index 240b535..c47435e 100644

...and the same for several other files in the repository.  Which
files seems to vary randomly: in my totally clean checkout, in which I
have made *zero* changes to any of the files, `git diff' shows this
for src/edwin/basic.scm.  In my work repository, it shows this for
bkpt.h, confshared.h, critsec.h, fasload.c, intrpt.h, memmag.h,
object.h, osio.h, outf.h, returns.h, scode.h, syscall.h.  I think I
may have touched these files, but then reverted any changes to them,
possibly by hand.
