It seems Git and Mercurial just think keyword substitutions are't so

Wonderful. So they knowingly distribute a client that does not
conform to
the client/server agreement.
If we care enough to prevent these malformed commits from getting
into our
repository, we can write a pre-commit hook to prevent them.
Just in case you're interested in this topic:

Thanks for those references. They seem to state, as you mentioned
earlier, that the developers of git think keywords are bad and they
don't want to support them.
I have no problem with that as it pertains to git. However git can be
used as a Subversion client. It is the responsibility of a Subversion
client to normalize keywords to unexpanded form before sending to the
repository, and the git Subversion client does not appear to do this.
Therefore git's Subversion client mode is faulty.
