Every line with a tag in it was last changed by "rogeeff". These kinds of sweeping changes are really bad for any source control system, especially when they're entirely unneccessary. In this case it's complicating the process of merging changes into the release branch. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
