Yes, the handling of keywords is obscure in cvs2svn and pretty much nonexistent in cvs2git. I have been working to try to improve the situation but haven't had much time lately. The workaround that you used should be fine for people who always want keywords collapsed. I'm not sure whether binary files go through the affected code path. But if so, the workaround might cause problems with a binary file that contains a series of bytes that looks like a partly-expanded keyword, because the "-kk" option would cause it to be collapsed. (Usually, binary files should be checked out with "-kb".)
