"""
The council confirms its earlier decision (2014-10-14 meeting) to drop CVS
headers after migration to Git.

1) Any $Id$ and $Header$ lines are to be removed from ebuilds and eclasses in
the gentoo repository, as well as from other files, e.g., metadata, profiles,
and files (except patches) in FILESDIR.

2) Removal should be done at once, and a repoman check should be implemented to
prevent such lines from accidentally being inserted again.

3) Infra is asked not to expand any $Id$ or other keywords, neither at rsync
generation time, nor via git attributes in the development repository.
