Good question. It doesn't "do" anything. It's purely informational for developers.

That's a string used by developers to track versions of software as they are developed and checked in to a code respository. The ID portion uniquely identifies a revision. Programs like CVS or SVN insert the version information automatically. If you are writing your own IDL code, you do not need to use an Id at all.
