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
