 13.5 How to handle keyword substitution with cvs import
 =======================================================
 
 The sources which you are importing may contain keywords ( Keyword
 substitution).  For example, the vendor may use CVS or some other
 system which uses similar keyword expansion syntax.  If you just import
 the files in the default fashion, then the keyword expansions supplied
 by the vendor will be replaced by keyword expansions supplied by your
 own copy of CVS.  It may be more convenient to maintain the expansions
 supplied by the vendor, so that this information can supply information
 about the sources that you imported from the vendor.
 
    To maintain the keyword expansions supplied by the vendor, supply
 the `-ko' option to `cvs import' the first time you import the file.
 This will turn off keyword expansion for that file entirely, so if you
 want to be more selective you'll have to think about what you want and
 use the `-k' option to `cvs update' or `cvs admin' as appropriate.
