This isn't why, but we did decide against including this patch. Our reason for deciding against this was that we don't want to include anything in CVS that might automatically throw away work done by the user. As you said, as things stand, the -ko option may be used to retrieve the original prior to Rahul's patch being applied. Afterwards, it becomes possible for the automation to throw away an intentional, albeit probably misguided, change. I still don't understand why Rahul's customer can't just stop running scripts that change the keyword contents. History is here: <https://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?func=detailitem&item_id=4573>. A man went to a doctor and said, "Doctor, when I do this it hurts." The doctor took one look and said, "Well, stop doing that!" Derek -- Derek R.
