Any suggestions? Remove the it! If you aren't using CVS those lines serve no purpose at all. Even if you do use CVS the line is of dubious usefulness. Unfortunately I can not remove them.

There is a repo with original software. I have a repo, which contains an installed software, which has expanded cvs keywords. When I started development I did not use git, yet, so all developments were done on the installed version, which contained expanded cvs keywords. So maybe you are right, I should run sed through all my repo, but I'm afraid I can not write a regular expression, which can absolutely safely replace cvs keywords. For a thousand file, I can not be sure it will not break something. This is why I forced the clean smudge way.
