We don't update those anymore. We now rely on the metadata in git(1).

Every now and then, I consider if I should just remove all of those
lines, to avoid confusing people. If anyone is interested in the
history before git(1), one can certainly look at those lines in old
versions of the pages. Anyone reading the mailing list opposes removing
those lines? (I'll ask again before removing anything, with a proper
subject line.)

Have a lovely night!
Alex
