Personally I favor leaving the expanded keywords in what we import, so 
that there's an exact mapping between what's in the final CVS repo and 
what's in the inital git repo, and then removing them entirely. I don't 
see that having old keyword expansions in the historical changesets is a 
bid deal. Nobody is going to base patches on them (I hope).
