Perhaps, but it's surely useful to have that information in the files
anyway; otherwise, how would someone know which version of a file
they've got?
Other revision control systems don't have this problem -- notably
Subversion, which is designed specifically to appeal to CVS users. I
hope the FSF considers using it.
