I'd like to do this, but have been nervous to because of my uncertainity about CVS's behavior. If people think it's safe to use `-kb' globally I'll do that (from from my reading of the docs a global `-ko' is dangerous though, as it overrides a file-specific -kb setting, and so could conceivably cause problems with binary files). If I'm interpreting the docs correctly, BTW, switching to `-kb' will leave expanded keywords in currently checked-out files unchanged (that is, if CVS stores keywords unexpanded in the repository, adding `-kb' _won't_ suddently cause keywords in checked out files to revert to their unexpanded forms), which might be slightly confusing for anyone relying on RCS keywords in bug reports. > Alternatively, a feature to tell Arch to ignore certain kinds of > differences could be implemented. But I'm not going to do that. Thanks, -Miles -- 97% of everything is grunge
