Sorry, but I like the old style better. I could read it and actually
understand what the function does; whereas text like

 * Output the content of a file.
 *
 * @param[in] out The stream to which the content will be written.
 * @param[in] path_or_url The path or URL of the file.
 * @param[in] peg_revision The peg revision.

tells me virtually nothing more than the signature does.
