Help Please: Preserving keywords in 3rd party sources

[Nicholas Catanchin]

Hi,

Is it possible to import a third-party source containing:
1) Binary files (GIF images)
2) PHP source files containing $Id$ keyword

Without:
A) Corrupting the images
B) Replacing the $Id$ keyword with my local info

'cvs import -ko' maintains the keywords, but corrupts the images
'cvs import -kb' maintains keywords, leaves images intact but presents
problems later with merging (I am modifying this third-party software
extensively - but it is also under constant development by its authors
and changes are made daily)

Thanks in advance.
