Have tools put version in CREATOR keyword

[donhorner]

When looking at another issue, I compared the output of gltcube to a very old version of the ScienceTools. I realized that the tools no longer put the version of the tools in the CREATOR keyword, just "HEAD". Here's an example:

< card 25: CREATOR = 'gtltcube ScienceTools-v9r23p1-fssc-20110726'

card 25: CREATOR = 'gtltcube HEAD'

We should figure out how to restore this functionality and get a proper version into the CREATOR string.

Talked with Eric about this. Apparently I won't be able to co-opt the way this was originally done, as it was dependent on a specific functionality of CVS (replacement of reserved string upon checkout). I'll work on figuring out a better way to go about getting that Keyword updated with the correct tag.

@brianv0 When repoman clones all of the repositories does it have some sort of git config environment that it sets up for itself? Would it be possible to tell repoman to set up a git smudge filter (see section on keyword expansion) to handle this CVS keyword substitution in our new git system?

I've been able to get this to work locally but I have to change my local git config directly so I was hoping this could be automated by repoman.

I noticed that if you run gtbin, it tells you

This is gtbin version HEAD

The tool gtbindef does the same. We should probably check for tools that do this and make sure they are fixed when we figure this out.

This still needs to be fixed. Going to add this as a low priority enhancement for the next release.
