[cvsnt] Corrupted kopt values

[Steve Nelligan]

I am relativly new to source version control systems.

I have a cvsNT server on a windows 2003 server, in which several of the
projects have invalid kopt values.  Is there a fix program to correct this?
Since the corruption is in the *.*,v files, what does the *.*,v contain?  If
I blew away the *.*,v files what would I loose?

Finally, is there a documented reason as to how this happens, and what can I
do so it doesn't happen again?
