If the previous commit had the tag changed to "$FreeBSD$" and the current
commit had it as "$FreeBSD$" then you get this.  The tags are expanded
on *checkout*, not checkin.  If you have: "$FreeBSD: is excellent $"
then that is what actually goes into the rcs files.

I have contemplated in the past making the commit checkin scripts change
any expanded $FreeBSD: foo $ tags into plain $FreeBSD$ so that it doesn't
keep occupying rcs delta space, but I was concerned about potential
interactions with remote commits and the 'touched but not actually
modified' checking.  It would be worth experimenting with I think.  It is
silly that we have +1 -1 on most commits solely because of the header
changes.

Cheers,
-Peter
