I'll leave the rest of the CVS discussions to you guys, however:

This point cannot be stressed enough. $Log$ is an *extremely* bad idea
if you use CVS (it was an ok feature for RCS).  Among other things it makes 
merges between CVS branches a nightmare: whenever you merge you will get a
conflict in the $Log$ entries which has to be fixed manually, then you 
commit the fixed file, which adds *another* $Log$ entry etc. 
You will have to manually edit *every single changed file* when you merge, 
you lose CVS's otherwise quite good merging capabilities.

It's a good idea to remove any trace of $Log$ whenever you find one
in a file.  It will raise its ugly head again in the next merge but
eventually you'll get rid of them.
