For the record, "cvs log" and "cvs status" can display different
values for the "-k" setting.  The former is the value stored in
the ,v file.  The latter is the "sticky" setting that's actually
in use in your sandbox; it will override the former if they
differ.

I mention this because it fooled me several times until I learned
to watch for it (and it still fools me on occasion, too late, or
too early, in the day :-)

Or:
    cvs admin -kb file  # Change the setting in the ,v file
    cvs update -A file  # Propagate the change to the sandbox
                        # (yes, you do need the -A here)
    Then check in a good copy of the file

It must be said that they would have sounded better if the singer
wouldn't throw his fellow band members to the ground and toss the
drum kit around during songs.
