Can anyone tell me if this is also the case under subversion? (as
opposed to CVS)

Yeah. That is pretty bloody annoying, isn't it? I always strip
those particular markers out of source because they are really
terribly useless unless your software development process is
otherwise utterly broken (no disconnected tarball of source should
ever be produced without an associated tag or version inventory --
or, if using a real revision control system like Subversion or
Perforce, the repository revision #).
In any case, it is easy to fix:
perl -pi -e 's/\$Id:.*\$//' *.[hcm]
That'll eliminate the silly $Id: ..$ noise from all headers, c source
and objective-c source. Substitute "Revision" for "Id" to remove
that instead.
