His argument is that it may destroy binary files.
This is bogus since keyword-substitution is *off* by default.
It will occur only for files that were explicitly marked for
substitution. For example in subversion:
svn propset svn:keywords "Id Author Revision" *.h *.c
As a substitute (pun intended) for the lack in this feature he gives
a hand crafted, build system dependent, manual (i.e: error prone) method.
What a lame excuse.
