On p4 it will generally add a client to and then delete the client
afterwards.  Aside from access logs, that should be it.  Of course, if
you spec or let it choose a user id that's not in the p4d, it will leave
it's username carved in a wall somewhere.

On VSS, it can even clean up others' litter, so to speak: it can undo
checkouts that other people have on files because it's quite common for
those to exist in backups and real world scenarios (all too often,
backups aren't real world scenarios ;).

On CVS it takes nothing but pictures.
