The files I have looked at have $Id: in them. This contains the latest
revision number, the date and the committer id. From time to time I
find this to be informative. I would prefer this over $Date or $HeadURL.

Do we really need this variable?
I like having this info in the file, since it saves a step looking
at the
repo to tell when the file was last modified. Like Emmanuel, when
I look at
it I am always just looking for the date, so it makes no difference
to me
that it is expressed in local time.
Indeed, but what use is the latest update date, without knowing what
was changed?
I would have thought that $Revision was enough to identify the file.
Similarly, $HeadURL may vary: http[s]://svn[.eu].apache.org/
I don't see the value of this one.

I don't think it adds much value.
Thoughts?
