rjung: Is it helpful to remove the old version tags? They carry the
information
on which external varion the files were based on.
+ kkolinko: To me those tags say nothing and feel misleading, not
+ maintained and unmaintainable.
+
+ If the annotation says version "1.17 03/18/03", is it really that
+ version? If someone prints or copies the file, will such number on
+ a printed copy be correct? Unlikely. It feels more that it will
+ impersonate the correct "v1.17" that exists elsewhere.
+
+ The only reliable way to track history of such file is via its
+ actual history (in source code management system or via mail
+ archives). The first commit should have said where the file came
+ from.
