Data point: Most large projects that have their source routinely
imported into other repositories or import other bits of code, make
heavy use of non-standard $Id$'s for the sake of reducing diff's and
collisions. The BSDs are the biggest examples and users of this. I
personally would very much like to see this change as I've grumbled
about doing imports of PostgreSQL into repos that I don't manage and
having lost version information because of colliding $Id$ tags.
Using the options file is pretty standard and has a long history of
use.
