On the first question, perhaps what you mean is the ability to put
something like $ Id: $ in your comments and have the date and other
information automatically inserted. That isn't really a function of
Emacs per se. It is something that can be done with a revision control
system like CVS or RCS. Emacs has some hooks into that mechanism, so
you can check stuff in/out from Emacs. I'm not too familiar with the
actual commands in Emacs for doing that, however.
