  Easy to do with a lot of rc systems to push and maintain the proper
header notice, that you mention, into the file via a hook as well as
maintain a list of authors. Thus keeping the project's legal postings
out of the hands of developers and ever checkout free and clear.

  I believe one of the svn tools handles authors so much as to deal
with merges and splits of code. So when a writemail.c is split into
writembox.c and writemaildir.c the proper authors are attributed. Sort
of sexy.
