Actually, FreeBSD's CVS checkin scripts were hacked many years ago to
unexpand $FreeBSD$ on checkin so that the actual repo "text" part just
includes $FreeBSD$ and doesn't update on each checkin.

Yes - because the RCS file includes all the metadata - ie tags.  This
is very visible when (eg) the ports tree is tagged.
