save hook in Emacs to fix the timestamp in swank-gambit. Marc, do you manually write out this line every time you make a new file, or is there something in Emacs to automatically generate this? There's two things that might be annoying about this:
Err, isn't it just the chain $Id$ which is automatically updated by the VCS ? CVS used to do that, and I'm pretty sure git/mercurial do it too…
git doesn't do it, I'm pretty sure. You're right though, I forgot that CVS did it, and it looks like a line which would be controlled by a VCS.
I initially received the file outside of version control and it still had the line, so that made me think Marc generated it some other way (unless it was in a local repo but he just emailed me the file).
