These are special comments that are expanded by CVS to contain
information about the revision of the file. This is pretty useless under
Git, so the default is for keywords to be collapsed. If you want the
keywords expanded, you can use the options-file method of starting
cvs2git, and change the line

    KeywordHandlingPropertySetter('collapsed'),

to

    KeywordHandlingPropertySetter('expanded'),
