One of our users wants to turn on $Id:$ expansion so that we can get version numbers from the executables.

Have any of you done this, and are there drawbacks, such as increased difficulty doing integrations between branches?

My only gripe/comment is that you cannot make "ktext" the default type for files. (For instance, I would want all *.cpp and *.h files to become "ktext" automagically.) Since this doesn't exist, as users add files to the depot, "somebody" has to follow up and make sure they get their type changed so the keyword(s) work.
