Using "cvs export -kv" is a Good Idea for a release!  That's because
if others import the release into their own CVS, or pull the file into
an unrelated CVS repository, your revision numbers are preserved.

I haven't followed this thread very carefully, but isn't there a
better way to fix the problem rather than stop using -kv (I'm not sure
that's what Guido has in mind)?
