Hello Bernd,

have a look at [1], point 2 in the Notes Section:

"The SVN $Date$ keyword should not be used, because it relies on the
clients locale. Use the $Id$ keyword instead (see
http://markmail.org/message/zx4ii6pq4iin2tol)"

The Id svn keyword is important for release votes. Since SVN will update
the keyword on every commit, you can simply diff the src distribution with
the release tag to make sure they match.
We have talked about migrating to git in the passed, but we haven't really
reached consensus about this. I don't know whether git will make keywords
obsolete, since a tag in git is immutable...

HTH,
Benedikt
