In the previous discussions of how to migrate from cvs to git, we've all agreed we should kill the keyword expansion that we have now. I don't think, however, that we ever decided what to do with the *old* keywords. We did say we want to be able to reproduce backbranches/tags *identically* to what they are now, which indicates we need to leave the keywords in for those. That has other drawbacks, though. The way I see it, we have two ways to do it: 1) We can migrate the repository with the keywords, and then make one big commit just after (or before, that doesn't make a difference) removing them. In this case, backbranches and tags look exactly like they do now, but it also means if you do "git diff" between old versions, the keywords will show up there.
I don't think this would be a terrible tragedy. Import, remove keyword lines on live branches, commit. That's what I'd do.
