[LUG] Id Lines in code files

 

Hi everyone.
I keep seeing id lines at the start of open source code files- they look 
a bit like this:

<!-- $Id: about_en.html,v 1.2 2005/11/05 12:35:36 aurb Exp $ -->
# $Id: index.py,v 1.2 2005/11/05 12:43:26 aurb Exp $

What are these called? Are they generated by some editor or packager or 
is this a global standard that authors put in by hand?

Thanks.
Simon
