 Keyword List
 ============
 
    This is a list of the keywords:
 
 `$Author$'
      The login name of the user who checked in the revision.
 
 `$Date$'
      The date and time (UTC) the revision was checked in.
 
 `$Header$'
      A standard header containing the full pathname of the RCS file,
      the revision number, the date (UTC), the author, the state, and
      the locker (if locked).  Files will normally never be locked when
      you use CVS.
 
 `$Id$'
      Same as `$Header$', except that the RCS filename is without a path.
 
 `$Name$'
      Tag name used to check out this file.  The keyword is expanded
      only if one checks out with an explicit tag name.  For example,
      when running the command `cvs co -r first', the keyword expands to
      `Name: first'.
 
 `$Locker$'
      The login name of the user who locked the revision (empty if not
      locked, which is the normal case unless `cvs admin -l' is in use).
 
 `$Log$'
      The log message supplied during commit, preceded by a header
      containing the RCS filename, the revision number, the author, and
      the date (UTC).  Existing log messages are _not_ replaced.
      Instead, the new log message is inserted after `$Log:...$'.  Each
      new line is prefixed with the same string which precedes the
      `$Log' keyword.  For example, if the file contains:
 
             /* Here is what people have been up to:
              *
              * $Log: frob.c,v $
              * Revision 1.1  1997/01/03 14:23:51  joe
              * Add the superfrobnicate option
              *
              */
 
      then additional lines which are added when expanding the `$Log'
      keyword will be preceded by `   * '.  Unlike previous versions of
      CVS and RCS, the "comment leader" from the RCS file is not used.
      The `$Log' keyword is useful for accumulating a complete change
      log in a source file, but for several reasons it can be
      problematic.   Log keyword.
 
 `$RCSfile$'
      The name of the RCS file without a path.
 
 `$Revision$'
      The revision number assigned to the revision.
 
 `$Source$'
      The full pathname of the RCS file.
 
 `$State$'
      The state assigned to the revision.  States can be assigned with
      `cvs admin -s'--see  admin options.
