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.
