Maybe I'm approaching this wrong. Here's what I am trying to do. I am locally storing in my cvs repo a 3rd party open source php system that I am customizing for my company. However, they have a header on every file that has the current version and the person checking it in. I need to preserve that information when I commit those files into my repository, otherwise when I grab a new version from the sourceforge CVS and run a diff, it looks like I've changed every single file since the files now all have my name from when I checked them into my repository. I don't want CVS to modify the keywords when I import or when I commit files. Is there a way to do that for an entire module?

To change the expansion of an existing file you do: cvs update -kb foo.php cvs commit -fm "Change expansion" foo.php (If you're using an older server this might not work - the alternate method is to use cvs admin -kb foo.php however this isn't versioned and will affect the older versions, possibly making them unreadable). You probably don't want to make a php file binary though... it'll cause all sorts of issues like line endings plus you won't be able to merge it.
