As the titel suggests, a correction in the printing of the footer.

Could we just get rid of these footers? I think these are obsolete in git. With SVN such comments were very popular.

No, they weren't just popular, they were absolutely needed! ;-)

But you are right, they are not really needed anymore with git. Hands up who is still using them?

I find them useless and distracting. They are also never expanded in my git checkouts. Probably git must be configured somehow, but I never bothered.

I don't even know when these are meant to be expanded. For releases? If they would be changed every time that would be some unnecessary disk IO.

But then - I wouldn't want release files to have different checksums than the files in git. I have no idea what the tags are for. Maybe I should think more before I hit enter.
