It's already there.

Perhaps, but it's surely useful to have that information in the files
anyway; otherwise, how would someone know which version of a file
they've got?

Other revision control systems don't have this problem -- notably
Subversion, which is designed specifically to appeal to CVS users.  I
hope the FSF considers using it.
