TCF Committers,
The message below is about the “copyright-to-year” in source files and making sure that all source files actually do have a copyright header.
I suggest using the Platform team’s copyright checker on the TCF git repo as well.
Let me know if there are questions (ie where to get the tool, how to use it, …)
I used the tool in the past on CVS-based repos but not on git so far.

Subject: [eclipse-dev] Copyright updates
This is a reminder for Eclipse project committers that now is a good time to be updating the copyrights on your source code, if you haven't already done so. This is often left
until the end, but in past years we had some last minute problems due to copyright changes in RC3+, so it's safer to get the changes in early in the end game. You don't need a reviewer because it is just a comment change, but please check the changes yourself
to make sure the copyright tool behaved properly.
Thanks to Tomasz Zarna we now have a copyright tool that works with Git. You'll need the latest Releng Tools plugin from 3.8 M7 or greater.
John
