Sun provided a feature allowing the end user to choose the behavior they wanted when UNIX System V was merged into its earlier BSD-based source tree. I am not aware of any other systems other than later AT&T releases of UNIX System V and SunOS/Solaris systems that provided the ability to use the set-GID bit on a directory to allow the user to choose the desired behavior, but it is certainly possible that some others do.

IDENT(1) General Commands Manual IDENT(1)
NAME
ident - identify files
SYNOPSIS
ident file ...
DESCRIPTION
Ident searches the named files for all occurrences of the pattern $keyword:...$, where keyword is one of
Author
Date
Header
Locker
Log
Revision
Source
State
These patterns are normally inserted automatically by the RCS command co (1), but can also be inserted manually.
Ident works on text files as well as object files. For example, if the C program in file f.c contains
char rcsid[] = "$Header: Header information $";
and f.c is compiled into f.o, then the command
ident f.c f.o
will print
f.c:
$Header: Header information $
f.o:
$Header: Header information $
