There are ways to hack something, but it seems really dirty and involves scripting and modifying files on the fly (some customized filter hooks). See for example <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/62264/dealing-with-svn-keyword-expansion-with-git-svn> and <https://github.com/turon/git-rcs-keywords>. These are perl scripts that must be installed on all developers machines (I guess the original scripts work on Linux but not Windows). We have more than one thousand files, and scripting something on all files would probably be very slow, as discussed in the stackoverflow thread. So I would prefer to not try this and simply trust what we have always done for release: check the full repository tree against the released archive. As I am not the only one here, I would like to get a consensus on this topic.
