Does perforce have $Id$ keyword?

Question

We are using perforce in our project. I was wondering if there is a mechanism that could be used to embed an expandable keyword that is changed after each commit, like in svn and git.

Answer 1

Yes, Perforce supports this for files that have the +k filetype set. See p4 help filetypes on how to set them. The supported RCS keywords are (straight from the docs):

$Author$
$Change$
$Date$
$DateTime$
$File$
$Header$
$Id$
$Revision$
