I think that bzr uses $Id$; Mercurial has examples hooks for $Id$;
monotone has $Id$ on its wishlist.  I can't think of a good reason not
to stick with the de-facto standard and call ours $Id$ instead of
$ident$.

I very much agree. I wondered why it was named $ident$ in the first
place. Now that I'm not alone, I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in...
