I think the current instances of hash munging are due entirely to bugs

may also be some other bugs related to CVS keyword expansion by the
conversion process.


They are not bugs but intentiona
l design decision as they are pretty  much the only option for testing that the conversion is actually giving  the same output as CVS (for some specific interpretation of timelines).
