[cvsnt] Sticky option (-ko) permanent or only on in working directory?

[Nick Duane]

But the keyword is still getting expanded in this file.  I can't figure it 
out as it seemed as if things were working ok locally, but maybe it just 
didn't expand it locally but did expand it on the server.  At any rate, when 
I deleted my sandbox and checked out the module again the keyword was 
expanded.  I wanted to be able to selectively turn off keyword expansion on 
certain files and have it stay that way.  At this point I'm going to edit 
CVSROOT\config and add KeywordExpand=i to turn it off globally.

Thanks,
Nick
