Example:

   The user has recently converted from a different versioning system,
   and kept the $Id$ tags from that system verbatim since they have been
   refered to by external systems (eg bug reports, etc).

   Having the ident property active (with my patches) will cause the $Id$
   tag to be zapped as soon as (but not before) the file is altered.
