if a database object is source controlled is it necessary to also note changes in the tombstone?

If I have a procedure definition that has been stored in source control, is it necessary or helpful to keep the 'tombstone' up to date as well?

Here's what I mean by a 'tombstone':

CREATE proc [dbo].[getCreditTransactions]      
AS   
/*
2001-02-12 jdoe : created proc
2003-04-15 kdoe : added handling for credit business rules 
*/
etc...
