This is a bad idea. -kb means that each version is saved in full and that
no merging takes place. If you are to play tricks with the keywords then I
think -ko or -kk would be bettar.

One (evil?) alternative would be to use -kv. (Substitute with the value of
the tag, i.e. $Revision: 1.6.8.1 $ is substituted by 1.6.8.1) and then the
problem is gone with the next commit.

On the other hand I have to admit that I do think Stan Shebs have got a
point. Death to all RCS keywords!

I would prefer this solution.
