I know, but I doubt that htis is used much any more.  I haven't had
any complaints about this, and I know that we didn't use -kv for
previous releases (I checked 1.5.2, 1.6 and 2.0).

Well, if we only us -kv to create the final tarball and installer, and
everybody else uses just the CVS version, the problem is that we don't
have enough testing time in.

Given that most code is written to deal with "$Revision: 1.9 $", why
bother breaking it?
