cvs2git and CVS keywords

Hello

thanks for providing cvs2git.

I do have the following question: is it possible to ignore the CVS 
keywords in each file during import or is it necessary to create the 
branching history? IIRC git just looks at the content of a file and 
creates the SHA1 from it - so, if the content changes (which does of 
course in CVS in each different branch due to the keywords), we miss 
that a commit is the same as another. This results in only 1 return from:

$ git branch --contains <SHA1>

even though the same commit/file exists in 5 branches. Maybe it's 
possible with some grep/sed-magic to rewrite each file before commiting 
it to git?

Thanks for any hint
