1: @cvs-id tag.
Posted by Mattia Righetti on 05/31/13 07:24 PM
I was reading this wiki where is written: "A @cvs-id tag containing the page's CVS identification string. Just use $Id: tcl-documentation.html,v 1.2 2000/09/19 07:22:35 ron Exp $ when creating the file, and CVS will substitute an appropriate string when you check the file in."

I am wondering why CVS doesn't substitute with the appropriate string. What does it mean to "check the file in"?

CVS is a source code management system, used also for version management of the OpenACS packages. "check in" refers to a commit operation in cvs, where one pushes usually a local version of a file to the common repository.

For the variable substitutions, see e.g. "S 4. Advice, tips, funky things" in the following tutorial:
