NetBSD has been using this style of RCS id for some time:

/*	$NetBSD: ch.c,v 1.22 1996/09/18 02:34:31 thorpej Exp $	*/

...located at the top of the file ... format is:

/*<tab>$NetBSD$<tab>*/

They're fairly pleasant to look at, and have the advantage of not being
mucked with by a local cvs import.  The idea was modeled after
BSDI's RCS ids (which are a litle different, in that they actually
just use " * BSDI $Id$", and then strip of the $'s when they ship
a release, but whatever :-)

Ciao.
