The NetBSD folks use $NetBSD: .. $ instead of $Id: $. The great advantage
of this is that if the file is imported into another repository, or if a
foreign file is imported into NetBSD's repository, then the master Id
numbers are preserved.
If you are going to keep using such tags, I'd strongly encourage you to
consider a similar approach ... $GNU:...$?
