I think it would be useful for the dev handbook's cvs section (http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=1&chap=4#doc_chap1) to include a warning about the expansion of upstream cvs keywords inside patches which are committed to cvs. While such files are rare, they do exist (eg. http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/dev-db/libpq/files/libpq-7.3.18-gentoo.patch), and the commit logs show I'm not the only dev to have made the mistake of adding them without the "-ko" or "-kb" argument to "cvs add" (which prevents keyword expansion from clobbering the file and causing the patch to fail).
Resolving as obsolete due to the fact that we no longer have to worry about the quirks of CVS and the handbook is no longer in use.
