Isn't cvs default -kkv?

You're right, default is -kkv (expand keyword/value every time) and
not -kv (expand keyword/value only if previously unexpanded).

There's something else in the -kb / -ko distinction according to the
protocol description I linked before. Using -kb changes the way the
file is sent, and this may well break our protocol handling, which is
currently quite happy to deal with the file as a series of lines.

OTOH I am not sure if it breaks when dealing with true binary stuff
like images, compressed data, etc.
