I DO want to expand the actual cvs id tag for this file, so I don't want to use the -ko option. Any other ideas? In case it matters, the text in question is with .Bd -literal. Note, I don't think that enclosing the first $ in [] will work either, since when I tried the above in my most recent commit, cvs ignored the first [, and left the ] on at the end of the string.
