Hi Sohail,
Even I don't think adding $Id$ would break the application in any way. I
know that we are just adding the version information to the file.
But the thing is, as we are now in a end to end testing phase, which
involves a lot of resources, we would be needing patches for all the defect
fixes which arise during the testing.
As we are against the "cherry-picking" concept, which means we don't take
only some files from Subversion to build a patch, implies we need to take
each and every file for the deployment if it has changed for any reason. If
we modify the files by adding $Id$ in to the file those require a commit and
consequently they would be going as a patch which would have huge number of
files, and which is not intended as a deployment downtime per se.
So the only way I have is to add this $Id$ with out actually commiting, but
the files should be having $Id$ in Subversion.
Thanks,
Karthik.
