[Eric] problem of managing project files with VCS

[Flavio Coelho]

Hi,

Eric4 project files, include in the header a comment line with the date and
time the project was last saved:

<!-- Saved: 2011-04-26, 08:47:29 -->

This causes problems with sharing projects with vcs such as git or mercurial
(and possibly any other). Since this line always changes when the project
gets saved on each developer machine, when one pulls changes from a central
repository there are often a merge conflict on that particular line.

I suggest removing this information from project files and relying on file
attributes to find out when the project was last saved.

thanks
