Hi,

What do others normally do in these circumstances (i.e., conflicts that
occur in RCS keywords)? Resolving these conflicts really doesn't do much
since, in operation, the commit of the resulting resolution always results
in a new "value" for the keyword (depending on keyword expansion flags)
anyways. I've often wondered if CVS merge could be optimized somehow in this
regard to eliminate/ignore RCS keyword conflicts; they're a pain, in my
mind, to deal with currently.

I'm interested in hearing how others manage this issue.

Regards,
-David
