I originally posted the following ~1wk ago and did not get responses, so
with your permission I'll post again.
I hope someone can help.


I have a module in my CVSNT-hosted repository with many files and some
history.

I would now like to have the '-ko' option "on the files" -- that is: I would
like to avoid keyword expansion
when checking-out / updating the files. If I run 'cvs admin -ko' from the
root of my sandbox I get a warning
that "-k option does not affect future commits", and that I should use
"update -k" or "commit -f". I am not
sure I understand whether or not I have achieved what I wanted, or in the
alternative that not: how to
achieve that.

By the way -- from what I can gather 'cvs admin -ko' changes the files one
by one. Is there an option to
set just one place in CVSROOT (the directory, not the env variable...) and
be done with it?


tia,
Nitzan
