Author tags
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Please don't flame me on this one.
I've seen numerous threads on the Apache lists about author tags and
their discouraged use. Would it be worthwhile in the future to remove
existing tags as we change code, as well as not putting them in new code?
Please read the first line of the body of this message before

I searched for discussions and didn't see any, so I figured I'd raise it
now. I don't do author tags personally, but I also don't take them out
of existing code without cause. I was prompted to ask as it pertains to
Tapestry because of the recent discussion on commons-dev
[http://tinyurl.com/qc43d]. Background being found http://tinyurl.com/mw7t6.
May be just me, but if 'legal discourages', I tend to avoid.

I think the argument against it was that the SVN repository's history can
tell you everything you need to know about who has changed the code. And,
it's more accurate than @author tags, because those have to be maintained by
whoever is making changes. I like @author tags, too, but I could take 'em
or leave 'em.

We've had discussions of this before. I believe the end result was
that we liked author tags! I know I do.
