Re: [viewvc-users] can someone tell me how to enable subversion keywords?

Subversion stores keywords in the repository in a normalized form which is
unexpanded:

   $LastChangedBy$

rather than

   $LastChangedBy: randerson $

It's the Subversion client that handles keyword expansion.

Since ViewVC doesn't use the Subversion client to do its repository history
cruising, ViewVC gets only the unexpanded, normalized forms of the files.
So, no keyword expansion for files with svn:keywords set.  (And also, line
endings are stored normalized to Unix LF-style end-of-line sequences for any
file with svn:eol-style set on it.)
