From: shawn wilson Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2014 21:21:51 GMT Subject: git $Id$ smudge filter Message-ID: Currently, I've got a perl script that modifies the Id line in a smudge filter: [filter "ident-line"] smudge = /usr/local/bin/githook_ident-filter.pl %f The problem I've noticed with smudge filters is that it leaves the repo dirty. How do I fix this? I am basically trying to replicate the behavior of CVS or SVN $Id$ line here.
