RCS $Id tag in database source files

The Drupal coding standards (http://drupal.org/node/318
) doesn't
explicitly list this point.  In addition to .php files
using:

// $Id$

it seems like .mysql and .pgsql files should also include
something
like this:

-- $Id$


Knowing the exact revision of a .mysql file seems just as
handy as
knowing it for source (.php, .module or .inc) files.

Upon further inspection, I see that this has now been done
in
core/database/database.* in HEAD.  Nice work, Markus and
Dries,
thanks.

a) I'd like to encourage all module developers on this list
to add
this comment to any .mysql and .pgsql files in their own
module(s).

b) We should update the coding standards page about this. 
I'd just
add a comment to the page, but it seems better to have it in
the body
of the node, instead.  What's the best way for me to help
make that
happen?  I submitted an issue to the Documentation
project's
"Developer Guide" component... is that the
desired behavior?

Thanks,
-Derek

well, as of 4.7 - folks can use .install files instead... so
 
(hopefully) there won't be any *.*sql files any more

I believe you can edit the page directly ... but i'll defer
to a  
documentation team type ...
