If you are looking to see who wrote a particular line of code, you can use SVN's blame tool which will also show you see the commit description which is helpful to see even who donated the code if a committer did the check-in. I think blame is more accurate than @author since it doesn't require a human to maintain up-to-date status of who committed the lines of code.
