Hi,

Here's another similar idea: generating copyright lines.  Let's say we 
want to copyright every source file - that means writing "(C) Junio, (C) 
Johannes, etc" at the top of every file.  Wouldn't it be nicer if we 
could put $Copyright$ in the file, then have some git-blame-like 
machinery fill in the copyrights automatically based on who's made 
contributions?
That's a horrible idea. A typo fix is not copyrightable. You'd add these. 
An obious fix is not copyrightable. You'd add these cases, too.

Besides, IMHO adding copyright should be a _concious_ act.

Ciao,
