Yes. By "Insert this on input", I meant storing the author name in the 
checked in version. AFAICS, the keywordextension carefully removes this 
information before commiting. Sorry for expressing myself in an unclear 
manner.

Short notice: You obviously don't want (nor can) check in the revision 
id of the last change to a file, but authorship is often different.
