[cvsnt] Files considered different just because of keyword expansion diffs

How can I get CVSNT to not consider files modified if only the keyword expansion is
different. Its saying that a file needs to be updated (and commit puts in new
versions also) based on a difference in whether the keyword is expanded or not.
For example, the repository version has a line
$Id$
which in the working directory after an update command looks like
$Id: foo.cpp,v 1.1 etc... $
if that line isn't exactly what the update provided, then the update/commit commands
consider the file modified.
In WinCvs, using an external diff program, there isn't even the option to ignore
expansion differences either.
Is there a way to get this to behave?
