If you are updating ports you can drop the RCS IDs as part of the update

Otherwise please do not send diffs to just drop them, we will do a bulk
sweep (at least of standard ports files) at some point, hopefully quite
soon - it is not helpful to do that unless it's going to be committed
soon after as it will get out of sync very quickly

Background is that they have been causing more trouble than good for
people doing wider work across the tree (CVS likes to generate conflicts
out of nowhere, and this is one of the main places it does it),
also there are some other smaller issues
