Hard to understand why a commonly used and spread usage in all big open
source projects could be wrong!!!
A revision history means just nothing in a source file as what is
important is the *set of* sources (or repository state) for a given bug
fix or feature.
And why should a developer have to duplicate information about what has
been done when it is recorded into the VCS?
My 2 cents!
