Not really related, I know, but I thought I'd mention that Emacs has
excellent built-in CVS support, so using IDLWAVE with CVS is a joy. I
find I use C-x v = (show differences to last checked in version) quite
often, and the color coded annotation (C-x v g) is useful for a rough
guide to when various parts of the file where modified. I never visit
the command line for CVS anymore, except for the occasional
multi-file check-in. That said, I've used $Date$ and $Id$ without
problem in the header comments, so it must be your client (e.g. binary
files have keyword expansion turned off, for obvious reasons).
