Re: [Springframework-developer] @since and @version tags

A correction from one of my previous posts; apparently at my company we were
using an older CVS version.  -kk works now.
from:

http://cvsdoc-zh.gro.clinux.org/cvsdoc/en/html/Merging-and-keywords.html
"In CVS version 1.12.2 and later, the keyword expansion mode provided on the
command line to any CVS command no longer overrides the -kb keyword
expansion mode setting for binary files, though it will still override other
default keyword expansion modes. You can now safely merge using -kk to avoid
spurious conflicts on lines containing RCS keywords, even when your
repository contains binary files. "
