I was reading through the CVS manual just now and looked up the keyword
substitution part. It looks like we can insert keyword strings into the
file and have them expanded. We can even have, for example, something
like:

let g:IMAP_RevisionNumber = '$Revision:$'

and when we release these files, the user will see

let g:IMAP_RevisionNumber = '$Revision: 1.20 $'

Isn't that cool? This information might be useful for troubleshooting.
Also, using these keywords won't lead to problems in merging and
spurious branches because we can use the -kk flag for merging...

Anyway, this isn't a big deal. Just a cool thing I thought I might
mention...
