He's also going to need to change the existing expansion flag in the 
repository.  Check it with "cvs status {filename}" and if it isn't set 
to kb, then use cvs admin or the newer syntax:

cvs up -kb filename
cvs ci -fm "change expansion flag"

I *think* that is the correct syntax, but I've only done it once.  I do 
seem to remember the -f flag is required on checkin to get the updated 
expansion flags back to the repository.
