Yeah, I understand that keywords expansion is required for my kludge to
work, and that what I am doing is a definitely a kludge. If this
undocumented feature is ever removed, I will have to reevaluate what I'm
doing. If this ever does change, I would request that in addition to
fixing what information is sent back to the client (diff versus whole
file), the developers should also remove the capability to modify the
file that gets checked in - give the commitinfo script a temporary copy
of each file that isn't used to modify the rcs file. Either that or
properly support and docuemnt the feature ;).
