| Thanks for the pointer, Freddy.  I had CVSROOT and $CVSROOT confused.

| Sadly, it doesn't seem to work.  I checked out CVSROOT/config and added:

| # Add a "FreeTDS" keyword 
| # cf. http://cvsman.com/cvs-1.12.12/cvs_104.php#SEC104
| #     "12.5 Configuring Keyword Expansion"
| LocalKeyword=FreeTDS=CVSHeader
| 
KeywordExpand=iFreeTDS,Author,CVSHeader,Date,Header,Id,Locker,Log,Name,RCSfile,Revision,Source,State
| 
| and committed.  I then changed the last line of ChangeLog:
| 
| $FreeTDS$
| 
| but it doesn't expand.  :-(  What am I missing?  (Feel free to try 
yourself.)

Is that "iFreeTDS" intentional? We decided not to put the path there, because
it is really meaningless (who cares what the absolute location of the CVS
repository is) and it would modify all the files if it moved. It also
makes the line too long... Usually I do ident <binary> to find out what
versions of source are there. I don't think that you need the KeywordExpand
line at all. What version of cvs does sourceforge run?
