Speaking from git migration experience, I'd be really careful about how you go about it. Filtering the filename and ensuring only the top few lines get touched would probably prevent a lot of issues. Patches are the biggest problem as you've noted, but offhand I'm not sure if there were others. I just remember that CVS keywords were a constant headache during the migration as they seemed to pop up in places you wouldn't think of. Now, you're only concerned with the active tree so that cuts down the opportunity for issues quite a bit (vs fixing all the old commits as well). -- Rich
