Well, if you are not using any CVS keywords, then why don't you just say so? CVS has keyword expansion flags for that, especially -ko, although -kb might also be desirable in some cases. Of course, this will not help when you check out or update your work on the production servers, but at least on your development machines ko-marked scripts will not be touched.
