Wonderful. So they knowingly distribute a client that does not  
conform to the client/server agreement.

If we care enough to prevent these malformed commits from getting  
into our repository, we can write a pre-commit hook to prevent them.

Thank you for abiding by the guideline. The $Id$ keyword has been  
useful to me many times already, in looking at modified portfiles  
submitted in Trac tickets, to determine what revision of the original  
portfile the new one was based on.
