We (Contigo Software) actually went through an intermediate step: we moved the
$Log$ to the bottom of files. This made it somewhat less annoying, but when
these logs started to get *much* longer than the actual code, we decided that
enough was enough and started to remove them. :-)
Our current template for new Java source files includes just $Id$ at the top.
(plus javadoc style docs, of course!)
