Umm, basically because the tools were not completely in place (rcs, cvs, cvsup, etc). We could turn it back on now, there have been a couple of test $FreeBSD$'s lurking around. What it is currently set for is like $Header$, but /home/ncvs/ trimmed off the front. However, this expands a bit long for comfort, so this might need to change.
