C1: Inappropriate Information
It is inappropriate for a comment to hold information better held in a different kind of system such as your source code control system, your issue tracking system, or any other record-keeping system. Change histories, for example, just clutter up source files with volumes of historical and uninteresting text. In general, meta-data such as authors, last- modified-date, SPR number, and so on should not appear in comments. Comments should be reserved for technical notes about the code and design.
