Hi,

Thanks for this -- it seems to be working for me, but all I see next to the source files is "((NULL))" -- what's supposed to be there? The latest source file tag? How do you get it to actually display there? I actually tried subversion also and got the same ((NULL)). Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks,
