The @author tag implies _authorship_. If we had an @owns tag, I'd fully agree with you. If some people can't distinguish between authorship and ownership, that's their business. I personally find it interesting/useful to know who @author'ed the current file. As for CVS logs, they are rather ephemeral things in my experience. Whenever a file is renamed/repackaged, the history is lost. Sometimes CVS modules are re-imported (as with Avalon, and xml-cocoon -> cocoon-2.1) and everything is lost. --Jeff > --- Noel > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
