Hi Andy,

I am a bit confused here... why would we want to do this? We don't
want to support keyword expansion, and that happens at the server end
anyway. CVS clients are pretty dumb and will just write out the file
we give them. When we are going to diff, they send the file to the
server, and the server runs the diff. Etc. No smarts at the client end
that care about -k options.

Or are you trying to control newline mangling on Windows/Mac clients?
I'm not even sure where that mangling happens. If that's the case, a
repo-wide toggle is useless, you really want the per-file-type rules
you mention.

dazed and confused...
