Really Off Topic question - CVS

Sorry for the off topic question but I gues that many of users here use CVS.
So, I would like to know if CVS has a feature that I like in CMVC (an old
IBM version system).
With CMVC if write a tag like the following in my source code.
Version %I% %W% %U% 
CMVC automatically replace the %I% %W% and %U% by current file version,
date, and so on.

I would like to know if CVS has some feature like this because I dont't like
to write tag version in my source code by hand.

Thanks for any help,
Joao.

Yes, CVS does have such a feature, and we use it in the Struts code base.

Here is the official CVS documentation for what is called "keyword
substitution":

http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_12.html#SEC98

If you take a look at a Struts source file, you'll see that we use $Header$,
$Revision$ and $Date$ (so you can see what they do, as well).
