Hi everybody,

My boss would like to see the nice code change history comment block
shown in every single class header. Since we start using CruiseControl
+ VSS for a while, I feel this history header is not that necessary
any more, but my boss doesn't agree with me on this.

I heard that TFS can generate some kind of history block
automatically, maybe can also write it back to code file(?) I would
appreciate if anybody can direct me know to do this. And, please
advise me how does your team manage this kind of history track demand
(without SCR). Thanks a lot.
