cvsexportcommit and cvsimport's -k option

Hello!

Im using git to work on an CVS project. My work cycle is as follows:

... hack away ...
git-cvsimport -i -r cvs -kk -v -d $CVSREPOS
git-rebase cvs # If work was done in the meantime
git-cvsexportcommit -cpuv $COMMIT # Multiple times, if necessary
git-cvsimport -i -r cvs -kk -v -d $CVSREPOS
git-checkout -b master cvs # commit ids are changed now

As far as I am concerned, this works fairly well, accept when for any reason
a line containing a CVS keyword (e.g. $Id$) is contained in a changeset. In
this case, patching fails, and I have to investigate why it fails, eventually
just copying the old version from the cvs repository.

Would it be possible to add an option to cvsexportcommit to detect such
killed keywords and ignore them?
