well, I'm trying to tag version info into files as they are checked in.

In a (dfly makeworld today) test pository, I added to CVSROOT/config 

LocalKeyword=DragonFly=CVSHeader
KeywordExpand=iDragonFly,Name

and commited it. Then I added and committed a file CVSROOT/test with a
literal $DragonFly$, but it wasn't expanded as expected... something is
missing. Should I be defining CVSHeader somewhere? or...
