As it happens an example of this just came up in Vincent's cleanup
branch <https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~vila/bzr/cleanup/+merge/28306>:

I had written some small amount of Python code for Bazaar in 2004, and
other people had written things that merged into Bazaar.  I don't know
off hand if any of that code still exists in annotate.py, but you
probably don't know that either.  It is a bit icky that
update_copyright (I presume) is changing this header even when Vincent
is making no other overall changes to this file.

emacs has an update-copyright hook function that does what I described
above: add the current year if it's not already listed.
