Indeed.  BTW, there's some code parsing the CVS Id tag and generating
current date in the output from that.  It'd be _very_ nice if we could
keep such functionality.  Dunno if git has some hook to do that kind
of trickery.  Maybe doing something like

 sed "s/@DATE@/`date`/" <foo >foo.in

in a Makefile could do.

Check.

Happy hacking, and thanks for your work!
