So here are the details: (1) Usually, you don't need to do anything: my CVS-arch synchronization scripts will notice new files and add appropriate taglines to them. (2) _Don't_ add `proto' taglines like the above. That makes the scripts think the file already has a tagline, and actually gives the file a tag of `???' (which although legal will obviously cause problems when the another person does the same thing). (3) If the file really already contains taglines because you're using arch locally, or from another project, you should probably just leave them in, unless the file contents are drastically changed in the process of adapting for emacs (making it effectively a `different file'). Basically, you shouldn't have to think about arch, things should just work. Thanks, -Miles -- If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten. [George Carlin]
