It definitely works. reLyXmain.pl (in lib/reLyX) has an $Id$ line in it. I
actually use it for my private RCS'ing, but it gets overwritten whenever I
do a CVS checkin. This is actually useful, because I have the reLyX "welcome
text" grep the date from the $Id$ line, so we can always figure out which
CVS version a person used.
