I personally love comments like this, but I prefer them in the commit
message.  Otherwise the source becomes one humongous comment with a
bit of interspersed code ;).  An interactive blame (like you get with
tig [1] and probably any interactive Git frontent) makes these
commit-messages easily accessible (assuming they're not buried under
whitespace churn, etc.)

Cheers,
Trevor
