Is this a new file being aded to cvs?  If so, simply add it with the -ko
option to turn off all keyword substitution for the file.  You can't
turn off a just specific keyword.

If you mean you want to turn it off for just one commit, I don't think
you can do that...or if you can, I have no idea how!

Here's a link to the relavent page in the cvs manual.
