I've been watching your traffic on info-cvs since about August 1996.
That's over 100 meg of traffic. Of course, not all of it is yours.
In that time, you've come across as basically a reactionary force,

Mmm, yes. If it stripped out the values at commit time, and just
stored the keywords, all these *#(! merge conflicts would go

The "evil" thing abou RCS keyword design is that they contain their

Perhaps I understated things a bit in my original response. There *are*

Anyone?
I get the following message attempting to make a commit locally on the CVS
server:
cvs [commit aborted]: cannot commit files as 'root'
$CVSROOT is properly set. All is fine if I switch to another user. File

When I check-out/check-in source files, I would like the keyword
substitutions to take place, e.g., I would like $Revision$ to be expanded to
