Is this a dead issue? I know several people said they wanted it.

I'm willing to do it if people want it. Some of my Red Hat coworkers
say it'd make their lives easier.

I'd actually suggest that we standardize on $PostgreSQL$ working like
$Id$ not $Header$, ie omitting the full-path info. While I'd rather
have the path in it myself, this would have the advantage that checkouts
from the master and anoncvs servers would look the same. Several people
have griped about differences between distribution tarballs and anoncvs
checkouts due to the repository path not being the same.

Plan B would be to get the repository path to be the same on both
servers, but that would cause a flag day for either committers or
noncommitters ...
