Oh, you are right, this is an Id line from TCCS our previous software
management system.

I guess I have to fix this manually.

The keyword is set and I do not want to change it because I just want to
import the changes from repository A to repository B. The guys that set the
keyword definitively want to see it.

I want to disable the expansion only for my workarea where I merge the changes
from repository A to repository B.

If the code is then checked out from repository B the expansion should take
place with the new revision numbers.
