Nevermind, I think I managed.  Added and removed files can't pick up sticky 
keywords.  I think at least part of the trick here is that an added file has
never been checked out, so it's never had keywords subbed anyhow and no merge 
could have been attempted, so why do you care?

I'm not quite sure this is a bug.  It may qualify as an enhancement if anybody 
wanted to work on it since it is debatable that if you set -kk for all the
files in your repository, you probably want to keep it for added files too, the 
same way tag information is propogated..

I couldn't get the missing sticky keywords to cascade unless the files in 
subdirectories were also newly added.
