One of the things that you can do with CVS is have custom scripts run=20
when a file is committed.  I believe that XFree86 uses this to expand=20
some "custom" keywords.  You may notice the $XFree86:$ tag appearing in=20
some source files as well.  This might be a question better suited for=20
devel@xfree86.  I would hope that someone there would know. :)
