One beauty of using a source control system like RCS or SCCS is that you do not need to maintain the mods in the source, the current running version of the source looks clean, but you can also view or print out the incremental differences.
When I first introduced using RCS at one shop I got great resistance from programmers because they insisted on continuing to flag a project's mods as described by others in this thread. A year later they were so disgusted by this practice, that they demanded an internal project to go through and rip them out because RCS did such a nice job of it all by itself. cds > 1.
