Well, I wasn't actually suggesting that as a final solution, it might be that it's done by more than just line count, and that some clever bit of machinery measures real contribution. That wasn't really the point. > Besides, IMHO adding copyright should be a _concious_ act. Well, IMHO, the concious act was the commital of a change. A lot of your objection to this seems to be "IMHO". Fine: you don't like keywords, you wouldn't be /forced/ to use them. I can see a use for them. I'm having a lot of trouble understanding why they are seen as inherently evil. Difficult to implement, I would accept, impractical to make work in git would be fine; but not this hand wavery that there is no conceivable use for them.
