A forced commit is necessary to change the expansion option of a revision, since it's something that you really don't want to happen accidentally (these things rarely change). update -k is a temporary change to the file expansion which is made permanent by commit -f. Admin -k no longer does anything (the old cvs didn't used to version expansions which meant admin -k made some kind of sense since a file could only have one -k mode in its whole lifetime). Tony
