Removal of $Id$
To date, we've been very dilligent about putting $Id$ in our source files.
I think that this is a mistake and am starting to remove them.
Why? As David Thomas points out in "Pragmattic Version Control", the $Id$ tag adds no real
usefulness and the data therein is always available from CVS and/or the IDE. On the other hand, it
causes pain whenever trying to merge versions of a file, such as porting into our out of a branch.
